Spoon is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Mates of State, Sleater-Kinney, Can, Fabrizio Moretti and Pavement. 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, Ratboy and Stephen Malkmus, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ray Davies, Weezer, The Beths, Anya Marina and July Talk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 43 connections around Spoon, reaching back through Mates of State and forward to Ray Davies.
