Spoon‘s new Memory Dust EP is out today, featuring two new originals, plus a cover of Bo Diddley‘s “She’s Fine, She’s Mine.” Britt Daniel says “Sugar Babies” and “Silver Girl” are not b-sides but songs that were left unfinished that they completed after their Lucifer on the Sofa tour. Both originals are good, with lots of that Spoon swagger. The Bo Diddley cover is great too, sounding like a barroom jam. Listen to the whole thing below.
The band start their European tour with Black Keys this week, will be on tour with Weezer in the US later this summer, and have Australian shows with The War on Drugs in December. All dates are listed below.
