There are a lot of things happening in Do You. It’s a breezy track, threaded by an overload of melodic and tonal hooks. Still, there’s room to breathe, as Britt Daniel’s rasp always goes down a treat. I saw Spoon on their last Australian tour and purchased their last album. I don’t remember anything from either. I think Do You suffers from the same problem. It’s good, the hooks are good and plentiful, but nothing really sticks. I should be nostalgic about Spoon, looking back wistfully on the days and lovers of 2007 soundtracked by Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. I’m not, but I enjoy listening to Do You. Spoon have never been anything less than good, and maybe that’s the takeaway here.
