Listen Here.
Spoon’s new album, Transference, arrives January 19 in North America (via Merge) and a day earlier in Europe (via Anti-). You’ve memorized the tracklist and now you can stare at the cover. (Via Stereogum.)
After using a photo by Italian lensman Ugo Mulas for the Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga sleeve, the guys go with a shot by pioneering American photog William Eggleston here. The original shot, dubbed “Sumner, Mississippi, c. 1970”, sold for a mere $86,500 at an auction last year, according to Christie’s.
The new single from Transference, “Written in Reverse”, is out digitally tomorrow, with a 7″ release to follow January 5. Check out the sleeve for that after the jump:
