Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007) V0

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is the sixth studio album by American indie rock band Spoon. It was released on Merge Records on July 10, 2007 to considerable critical acclaim. Its cover art comes from a portrait of the artist and sculptor Lee Bontecou, taken by the Italian photographer Ugo Mulas in 1963.[5] The completed sculpture on the right is now in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art.

The album's title is the former title for the song "The Ghost of You Lingers", which was meant to sound like the song's staccato piano part.[6] The band changed the song's title, but decided to adopt the name "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" as the album title, with Britt Daniel calling it a "great little Dadaist term".[6]

An iTunes-exclusive bonus track, "Deep Clean", was packaged with Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. A limited edition copy of the album was released along with a bonus disc entitled Get Nice! The disc includes 23 minutes of mostly instrumental songs and a few demo tracks. Early buyers of the album also received a free 7" containing a demo of "The Underdog", and the B-side "It Took a Rumor to Make Me Wonder, Now I'm Convinced I'm Going Under", which had previously appeared on the UK edition of the "Sister Jack" single.[citation needed]

The album debuted at number 10 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and at number 1 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums, selling 46,000 copies in its first week.[7] This album was #10 on Rolling Stone's list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007.[8] The album was also #7 on Pitchfork Media's top 50 Albums of 2007. By January 2010, the album had sold 318,000 copies in the United States.[9]
