On August 5, exactly 10 years after its original release, Matador Records is reissuing Spoon’s beloved eighth album, ‘They Want My Soul,’ on all digital platforms, with a 2xLP gatefold vinyl release to follow in the fall. Along with the album’s original 10 tracks—including all-time Spoon classics “Inside Out,” “Do You,” and “Rent I Pay”— ‘They Want My Soul: Deluxe More Soul Edition’ includes 11 demos and alternate versions, almost all of them previously unreleased. The reissue underlines the album’s vaunted place amid one of rock’s most bulletproof catalogs and offers a glimpse at the creative process behind a pivotal moment in the ongoing Spoon story. It’s one thing for a band to last a long time. But it’s something completely different—and inordinately more difficult—for a band to make very good records for a long time. Spoon is one of those bands. How do they do it? By maintaining dignity in a world hellbent on sucking it out of each and every one of us. By being unafraid to introduce new voices and creative expressions in their work, while never taking a corny left turn just for the sake of it. By knowing when they need to stop and recharge—and when to come back with force. They make it all look easy. But ‘They Want My Soul: Deluxe More Soul Edition’ shows the hard work it takes to achieve greatness every damn time.
