Album Description
Available in:
Lucifer on the Sofa is the tenth studio album by American rock band Spoon, released on February 11, 2022, through Matador Records. Spoon began work on the album in late 2018 after the conclusion of their tour supporting Hot Thoughts (2017), their ninth studio album. Recording sessions began in late 2019 and took place in studios between Austin, Texas, and Los Angeles, California. They primarily recorded the album with Mark Rankin, with Justin Raisen and Dave Fridmann, the latter of whom co-produced the band's previous two albums, each producing one song. Recording sessions continued until March 2020 but had to be postponed after the COVID-19 pandemic began severely impacting the United States. After completing the album in 2021, the band released the album's lead single, "The Hardest Cut", in October of that year.
Recording
Spoon began working on a tenth studio album in late 2018 after their tour supporting their ninth studio album, Hot Thoughts (2017), concluded. Recording sessions began in late 2019 at drummer Jim Eno's Public Hi-Fi studio in the band's hometown of Austin, Texas. Band frontman Britt Daniel wanted to record the album in Austin in order to "do a different thing this time, and experience the vibe of a city". He chose Austin in particular because he had lived there when he was younger, and it held many memories and musical influences for the band. Lucifer on the Sofa is the first Spoon album to include new members Gerardo Larios (guitar) and Ben Trokan (bass guitar).
For the recording sessions, the band sought to replicate their sound as a live band, contrasting with the recording technique used for Hot Thoughts that mainly revolved around piecing song parts together; this came as a result of the band realizing they preferred the sound of the live versions of their songs over their studio recordings. Daniel invited Mark Rankin to produce the album. Daniel had been enamored of Rankin's production work with Adele and Queens of the Stone Age, and enlisted Rankin to co-produce Spoon's 2019 song "No Bullets Spent", which was made to help promote their greatest hits album, Everything Hits at Once (2019). The band also spent time recording with Justin Raisen and Dave Fridmann, the latter of whom co-produced the previous two Spoon albums, They Want My Soul (2014) and Hot Thoughts.
Until March 10, 2020, there had been roughly seven recording sessions for Lucifer on the Sofa. The sessions continued until the COVID-19 pandemic began severely impacting the United States in March 2020, forcing band members to shelter at their respective homes due to a nationwide lockdown. Before the lockdown, the album had been between 70- to 80-percent finished and the band had expected to finish it completely in the midyear, potentially releasing it in the fall of that year. The album's expected completion period continued to be pushed back as the number of cases sharply rose in the country, particularly in Texas, where the band had been recording. During the lockdown period, Daniel began writing more songs at his home. Additionally, he occasionally drove out to Los Angeles to work on the album with guitarist Alex Fischel. Full recording sessions resumed in September 2020. By that point, a total of 30 songs had been either written or recorded for the album. The pandemic caused Lucifer on the Sofa to become Spoon's most time-consuming album to record.
Promotion and release
Spoon began teasing the announcement of new material on October 27, 2021, with short clips uploaded to their social media accounts alongside the hashtag "#LOTS". The band announced Lucifer on the Sofa the next day and simultaneously released the album's lead single, "The Hardest Cut". The song was accompanied by a music video that Billboard described as a "Halloween-appropriate sub-story about a knife-wielding killer preparing to off his latest victim". On October 28 and 29, the band livestreamed concerts, titled Back to the Life, that were shot in Los Angeles during the previous month. The second single from Lucifer on the Sofa, "Wild", was released as a 7-inch single on December 10, 2021. The song was backed with a remix by Dennis Bovell on the B-side. "Wild" was released as a digital single later on January 11, 2022, accompanied by a music video that paid tribute to Hollywood Western films. Lucifer on the Sofa was included in the "Most Anticipated Albums of 2022" lists of Paste, Pitchfork, Stereogum, and Vulture. "My Babe" was released on February 8, 2022, as the final single to come before the album's release. Lucifer on the Sofa was released through Matador Records on February 11, 2022, on digital platforms and physically as a CD and 12-inch vinyl record, with certain retailers carrying different color variations of the vinyl record.
