Spoon 'Lucifer On The Sofa' (2022) ****1/2

Lucifer On The Sofa (2022) is Spoon at their most polished but it's Spoon, so of course it delivers. Lucifer is a tight blend of straightforward rockers and somber soothers. With one of the most consistently great outputs of any artist I can name, it's easy to see why Spoon's popularity has only grown over the years (longtime fan since 2001 here), and why so many people continue to love them. Nearly thirty years—and 10 albums deep—into their career, they remain one of my Top 10 Bands.
