Spoon is a band from Austin, Texas that was formed in 1992 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Spoon, named after a song by krautrock band Can, signed with Elektra Records in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response to being dropped, Spoon released a two-song EP titled The Agony of Laffitte, referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte, and were eventually signed to Merge Records. After the release of their more recent albums, Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Like many bands, Spoon consistently alters their sound in an attempt to stay fresh. Their latest album, Gimme Fiction, was released on May 10, 2005 on Merge Records.
