Long-running indie-rockers Spoon are back. After a four-year layoff – during which Britt Daniel engaged in Divine Fits – Spoon played the Governors Ball over the weekend and did a special gig for NPR on Monday, during which they unveiled “Rent I Pay” from their forthcoming album (their eighth) “They Want My Soul.” the album will be out Aug. 5, and the new song is vintage Spoon, a pugilistic piece of modern indie blues. Thankfully, all those “R.I.P.” teasers weren’t an acronym for something else. The single is available digitally now.
