Just when you thought Spoon topped-out when it came to making staggeringly consistent indie rock albums, they kept on doing you one better. Considering these guys made three of our favorite albums of the decade, we're hoping they can come up with as much greatness in the 2010s.

So, Happy Friday: The band's seventh LP, Transference, is due out January 26 in North America via Merge and January 25 in Europe via Anti-.

The record features 11 songs produced by the band, including recent single "Got Nuffin", not to mention tracks called "I Saw the Light" and "Out Go the Lights". Lights, people, lights! Peruse the other song titles at your leisure below:

(New Spoon!)

Transference:

01 Before Destruction
02 Is Love Forever?
03 The Mystery Zone
04 Who Makes Your Money
05 Written in Reverse
06 I Saw the Light
07 Trouble Comes Running
08 Goodnight Laura
09 Out Go the Lights
10 Got Nuffin
11 Nobody Gets Me But You

via pitchfork

EDIT - Album release date moved up a week earlier.

Do you just want another great record or are you implying the last one sucked?

I didn't care for Ga at all. Loved Gimme Fiction, though.

Feel the same way. Apart from a few songs I thought the last one really wasn't that good.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is really good, you guys.

it is... so is Fiction.

it just happens that i MUCH much prefer Girls Can Tell, Kill The Moonlight, & Series of Sneaks.

that said, Spoon are one of the most consistent bands of the last 15 years, i'm guessing this will be pretty dang good. bummed that Got Nuffin is on it tho.

Eh, liked Gimme Fiction much better. Had to hear Don't You Evah about five times a day on the radio at work after it came out and I really soured on it, so there's that. It has more to do with Gimme Fiction being great than the last one being bad.

Really good at times, imo (Black like Me :luv:

). Not on par with KTM & GF though.

My big hope is a tour that takes them to my neck of the woods. I saw them in a small venue a couple years ago (just before Ga Ga came out) and they were very good.

Got Nuffin is a catchy little number. Don't waste your time with Tweakers. Stroke Their Brains is a decent b-side.
