Nine albums in, Spoon maintains a creative pace that shows no sign of abating. Co-produced alongside Flaming Lips associate Dave Fridmann, Hot Thoughts is the Texas quartet's most sonically inventive work to date and a rich musical universe of its own—from the kaleidoscopic opening title track to the gargantuan stomp of "Do I Have To Talk You Into It” and the wiry hooks of "Can I Sit Next To You." The result is nothing short of thrilling.
