Indie rock

Spoon is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Working For A Nuclear Free City, Mahogany, Grupo Fantasma, Mates of State and Greatest Hits. Those roots explain a lot about how Spoon arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Divine Fits, The New Pornographers, The Hold Steady, TV on the Radio and Ratboy, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Dandy Warhols, Voxtrot, Nada Surf, Ray Davies and Weezer, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 51 connections around Spoon, reaching back through Working For A Nuclear Free City and forward to The Dandy Warhols.
