Austin rock and rollers Spoon have a new record due out on March 17th called Hot Thoughts. Today, we got a taste of the album via the new song “Can I Sit Next To You.” It’s suave and sexy, with a funky back beat and unexpectedly trippy synthesizer arrangements at the halfway mark. And at 3 minutes 54, it doesn’t overstay its welcome — quite the opposite, rather, beckoning you to hit play again once its over. Take it for a spin or ten below, and check out Spoon’s 2017 tour dates below.
