Love Ways

Spoon

Seventeen minutes of lean, rhythmic indie rock. Stripped-back arrangements, bone-dry drums, and sharp piano stabs that bridge the gap to their classic era.

October 24, 2000 · Matador

A tense, late-night confidence balanced by moments of dry, melancholic reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, sharp entrance of staccato piano chords on Change My Life that instantly defines the EP's rhythmic drive.
The raw, unadorned vocal delivery in the opening seconds of I Didn't Come Here to Die, suspended over a bone-dry bassline.
The way the instruments drop out during the bridge of Chips and Dip, leaving only a ticking percussion pattern and a warm organ hum.
