One of our favorite modern bands here MOR is the Austin, Texas indie outfit Spoon. We were pretty excited when the band announced their latest effort “Transference” will be released on January 19th on Merge Records. The new album features 11 songs, including a version of the recent single “Got Nuffin”. The first single from the album, “Written in Reverse” will be released December 1st. It will also be released in a vinyl pressing on January 5th, with the vinyl only B-Side “Mean Read Spider”.

Here is the tracklist for the album:

01 Before Destruction
02 Is Love Forever?
03 The Mystery Zone
04 Who Makes Your Money
05 Written in Reverse
06 I Saw the Light
07 Trouble Comes Running
08 Goodnight Laura
09 Out Go the Lights
10 Got Nuffin
11 Nobody Gets Me But You
