While Im sure
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is a stellar kind of title for Spoons long awaited follow-up to
Gimme Fiction, its what all that baby talk is slapped across that really matters. Thankfully, months of speculation and nervous suppositions is beginning to pay off, as both the band, and
Merge Records begin the gradual roll-out to July 10th.
