Spoon: I Turn My Camera On

by Anthony Gibbons
Staggeringly, Spoon are now on their sixth album ('Gimme Fiction') so perhaps now with an Interpol support slot under their belts, and the release of 'I Turn My Camera On', Spoon will start to get some recognition.

'I Turn My Camera On' is a sinister-sounding single with a nagging bass hook and sleazy vocals, courtesy of Britt Daniels. It is primarily concerned with failed relationships but a line such as 'I turn my camera on / I turn my feelings on / it made me untouchable for life' provides few clues.

Lyrical ambiguity aside, 'I Turn My Camera On' is possibly the most sordid sounding thing one could hear this year, and for that alone Spoon should be applauded.

Spoon - I Turn My Camera On

Spoon rule from what i've heard, and that's the album 'Girls can tell'.

Spoon - I Turn My Camera On

I love Spoon. I went down to London to see them play at the Garage, They were amazing.

I recommend all their albums. Britt Daniels is one of the best songwriters on the planet . FACT!

Spoon - I Turn My Camera On

psst! fifth album! :) (telephono, series of sneaks, girls can tell, kill the moonlight, gimme fiction)

this is great. i like to strut to it.

Re: Spoon - I Turn My Camera On

Didn't think there was anything pre Telephono either, but they've got something that I'd never heard of before listed on their site.

It's an ok choice for a single, but 'The beast and the dragon adored' would've been better.

By the way, did Britt do some solo stuff a long time ago under another name?

Re: Spoon - I Turn My Camera On

aren't those just 7" releases from Telephono? who knows.

'the beast and the dragon, adored' is superb though i'd love to see 'the two sides of monsieur valentine' or 'sister jack' released.. good stuff.

and i'm not sure about britt's solo stuff.. i shall investigate though.

Re: Spoon - I Turn My Camera On

yep, britt went under the name Drake Tungsten. :)
