Spoon released their eighth LP, They Want My Soul , on August 5, 2014. It was their first record released by Loma Vista Recordings , after five records on Merge. It was recorded with Joe Chiccarelli and Dave Fridmann. That year they took part in the Hamilton, Ontario Supercrawl. Reviewing for Pitchfork, Ryan Dombal gave the album a rating of 8.6/10, writing: ” They Want My Soul is the quintet’s most booming LP, eons ahead of their Pixies-worshipping beginnings and a far cry from the relatively small-scale charm of their early-2000s touchstones Girls Can Tell and Kill the Moonlight , as well as their self-consciously lo-fi 2010 record, Transference .” The album was also ranked as 13th of 50 in Pitchfork’s Best New Music of 2014.
