Spoon Release Surprise New EP, Got Nuffin, Right Now

Today marks the sneaky release of a brand new EP for ever-popular Austin rockers Spoon. Late last week, word leaked out from Merge Records that a new, three-track work from Spoon would be rushed out with no promotional lead-up.

Spoon's first new material since 2007's much-acclaimed, Top 10(!) LP Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, Got Nuffin kicks off with its slinky title-track, and ushers in the beginning of a flood of new material.

In early July, Spoon have taken command of Stubbs Ampitheater in their hometown of Austin for three nights. Handpicking the supports for each night and turning it into a mini festival, SPOONX3, the band will unleash new material from their forthcoming album. Of which I'm guessing "Got Nuffin" is the first taste.
