Background notes
Archive material and source history
Spoonboy formed in Brooklyn in the mid-2000s with Matty McLoughlin on vocals and guitar, Chris Smith on bass, Will Rockwell on drums, and Andy Pyne on keyboards. Their first album, 'Actions and Words,' came out in 2007, and the title track became something of an early calling card for them.
Their music mixed elements of electronica and post-punk in a way that didn't always sit easily with critics at first. They kept at it, putting out albums like 'The Distance Between' in 2009 and 'The Divide' in 2012. Songs like 'California' and 'Ghosts Overseas' show the kind of introspective, sometimes anxious territory they tended to work in.
They developed a cult following, and their live shows could be polarizing. They were a band that seemed to operate on their own terms, for better or worse.
