Spoon Releases New Single 'My Babe'

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Spoon have shared "My Babe," the third and final advance listen of their forthcoming album Lucifer on the Sofa via (Matador Records).

"My Babe" is a song of contrast. What begins as a sentimental ballad with a heartbreaking piano melody yields to an exuberant chorus with a proclamation of sheer bravado.

Spoon previously shared the visceral and vivid track "Wild" a song Stereogum says "demands to be played from rooftops" It follows "The Hardest Cut," which Rolling Stone called "a straight up epic rock song."

The single is currently #1 at AAA radio and you can watch the band play the arena-rock ready song on the February 15th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Tune into the show's YouTube page after the on-air performance to see the band play even more from their new album.
