287: Jim Eno (Spoon)

Though Spoon's style has evolved radically over its 25 year
existence, Jim Eno's drumming has been consistently tasteful,
disciplined, and compositionally clever.


Aside from his work as a drummer, Jim owns the Austin-based
studio, Public Hi-Fi, and has engineered and produced for artists
such as !!!, Cornell Dupree, John Vanderslice, Alejandro
Escovedo, Future Islands, and many others. When we spoke last
month, I began by asking Jim if it's possible to safely run
recording sessions during the pandemic.


Spoon is re-issuing its catalog via Matador, beginning with early
albums Telephono and Soft Effects, which will be re-released on
Friday.


You can pre-order Joe's album NITE CREATURES HERE. All profits
through the end of July will be donated to The NAACP Legal
Defense Fund.
