The band consists of Conor Oberst, multi-instrumentalist and producer Mike Mogis, trumpet and piano player Nate Walcott, and a rotating lineup of collaborators drawn primarily from Omaha's indie music scene.

Spoon is a music label established by Hildegard Schmidt in 1980. Hildegard was the manager of the influential Krautrock group Can and started Spoon to release their group, solo, and side-project material.

The early pressings of Spoon releases had a simplistic black on white label with no logo. The label name, Spoon-Records, was displayed boldly with the address 5000 Köln 30 underneath. Later pressings added an LC code (LC 7395) on the left of the label and revised the address slightly to D-5000 Köln 30. French (Celluloid) and Italian (Base Record) issues were released from 1981 onwards.

In the mid/late 1980s, Mute Records took up UK distribution for Spoon. In 1989, CD versions of Spoon releases were introduced with basic black print labels and no logos. These CDs were made in Switzerland and featured SPOON as part of the catalogue number. In 1991, when Mute took up international distribution, a logo for Spoon was introduced - block split inverse capitals in a box - appearing on vinyl labels (white or black inverse labels since 1999) and on CD labels.

Back In Stock

Can's final album to feature Holger Czukay; the remaining members would make two more, 'Out of Reach' and 'Can', before splitting in 1979. 1977's Saw Delight is also the album which introduces bassist Rosko Gee and percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah, two ex-members of Traffic whose backgrounds in jazz and African music fundamentally changed Can's sound. While the group was always attuned to the nuances of rhythm, the entrance of Gee and Kwaku Baah took this interest to new and intoxicating heights. these songs, especially the cut-up electronics of 'Animal Waves,' benefit greatly from the heightened fluidity and rhythmic tension of the new, more powerful rhythm section.
