Spoon Surprises Fans with Two New Songs
AUSTIN, Texas - Spoon, the indie-rock band from Austin, Texas, surprised fans with the surprise release of two new songs, "Chateau Blues" and "Guess I'm Fallin' in Love," on August 26, 2025. The songs are quintessential examples of the band's sharp guitar-driven sound that has been a hallmark of their music for decades.
According to frontman Britt Daniel, the new songs are part of a forthcoming album that will continue in the vein of their 2022 album, "Lucifer on the Sofa." Daniel described the songs they've worked on so far as "very rock-forward" and "extroverted-feeling." In a statement, Daniel said, "They've been very extroverted-feeling."
"Chateau Blues" began as a country-inspired swing, but Daniel rewrote it as a driving rocker with a Topper Headon-esque machine-gun beat. The song's transformation gave it new life, Daniel said. "I had this vision one morning as I was waking up of 'Chateau Blues' as a rock song. So I rewrote it as a song led by a riff, same key, same lyrics, almost the same melody but the riff gave it life."
Spoon's music has evolved over the years, but their latest release suggests a return to their roots. Their 2022 album, "Lucifer on the Sofa," marked a potent return to straight-ahead, band-in-a-room rock after a couple of records that leaned more into studio craft.
Spoon's surprise release of new music has generated excitement among fans and critics alike. The band's ability to craft catchy, guitar-driven songs has been a key factor in their enduring success.
The release of "Chateau Blues" and "Guess I'm Fallin' in Love" marks a significant development in Spoon's discography, and fans are eagerly awaiting the release of their next album. With their latest music, Spoon continues to showcase their unique sound and style, cementing their status as one of the most respected and beloved indie-rock bands of their generation.
In related news, Spoon is expected to tour in support of their new music, with dates and venues to be announced in the coming weeks.
