Spoon have released a new double A-side single, made up of the tracks ‘Chateau Blues’ and ‘Guess I’m Fallin In Love’.
Both tracks were written and recorded amid the band’s recording sessions for a forthcoming new album. In a statement, frontman Britt Daniel said: “As we finished up the first two songs for the LP, it crossed somebody’s mind and eventually all of ours that these two really should come out now.”
He continued: “Two new tunes with distinct personalities that were summoned into the world the past few months in Austin, Texas, and Providence, Rhode Island. It’s a big day all around: Tonight we kick off our first tour in a while in Santa Ana, and tomorrow we start up our run with the Pixies – let’s face it, one of theee great bands of all TIMES. A band that some may know has long been near and dear to me. It’s a real pleasure and we’re real happy to be getting back into gig world for a sec. See you down front.”
The band’s tour with Pixies kicks off today (August 26) in Santa Ana, California, and comes to an end on September 20 with a show in Atlanta, Georgia.
