To mark the 10th anniversary of this indie classic, Matador have reissued a deluxe limited edition version of Gimme Fiction.

'Gimme Fiction' dragged the sonic pointillism of Kill the Moonlight further into dub-influenced weirdness as the increasingly confident Spoon went crazy in the studio, experimenting with everything from warped hip-hop samples to horse whinnies. Whatever digging or strange alchemy had to go into it, they only produced more gold.

'Gimme Fiction' deserves special recognition as the album where Spoon took creative and stylistic quantum leaps that resulted in classics "I Turn My Camera On," "The Beast And Dragon Adored," "My Mathematical Mind," "I Summon You" and so many more. 10 years later, 'Gimme Fiction' gets the deluxe vinyl release it so richly deserves.

The reissue contains the album remastered by Howie Weinberg from the original tapes, a second disc with 12 previously unreleased demos from the era, nine additional bonus tracks via digital download, and a full-colour book containing photos and an extensive oral history of the making of the album.
