You're listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs,
and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made.
I'm Rishikesh Hirway.
The band Spoon was formed in 1993 by singer Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno.
They've released eight albums, including their most recent record,
They Want My Soul, which came out in August 2014.
In this episode, Jim Eno breaks down the song Inside Out,
explaining how it went from the original demo to the finished album version,
including what other music influenced the recording.
Plus, we'll hear from their co-producer, Dave Fridman,
whose other credits include the Flaming Lips album Soft Bulletin and MGMT's Iracular Spectacular.
Here's Spoon on Song Exploder.
Hi, this is Jim Eno.

So there's Britt Daniel, who is the songwriter, guitar player, and lead vocalist.
There is Rob Pope, who is the bass player.

Alex Fischel, who plays keys, guitars, and a lot of other things.
We're talking about Inside Out off of our latest record, They Want My Soul.
This is the first way I heard it.
