In a recent interview with The Guardian Daniel admitted this was a mistake - the record became a labour, not of love, but of annoyance and frustration, it became "fucking tedious". Transference was produced by Daniel and recorded in his basement flat. Four years ago, Transference, took something of a step back and was more of a lo-fi approach, an effort to rejig their sound, but it failed to build on the standout and breakout brilliance of 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Formed by Britt Daniels and Jim Eno, they were named after Can's theme song to the film Das Messer. It's over twenty years since the Austin band Spoon first graced us with their music. It's only when you realise you're whistling a riff whilst changing a nappy, or humming the chorus whilst making a coffee, does it dawn on you that it has you in its grasp and there's no escape. After a month of listening to the latest Spoon album in the car, on public transport, on foot, in my living room, I've realised it's possessed me. And then, before you know it, it's taken over. You're unsuspecting and they sneak up on you.

You can never predict what's going to be an ear worm.
