Merge Records will release two Spoon recordings which have been out-of-print for years. Soft Effects (1997) and Telephono (1996) will hit stores as one deluxe package on July 25th. All songs have been remastered and there is a bonus video for Telephono track, “Not Turning Off”.If you're only familiar with latter day Spoon (Gimme Fiction and Kill The Moonlight), then early Spoon will feel much rougher around the edges. Their recent work displays an intense laser-like focus in performance, arrangements, and songwriting, while Soft Effects and Telephono showed the world a band with mucho promise and talent, they also delivered some great music.
+ Mountain To Sound (from Soft Effects)
