Spoon - A Series of Sneaks LP vinyl record

Brand new, still sealed.

A Series of Sneaks is the second studio album by the indie band Spoon, released by Elektra Records in April 1998. Despite being overlooked critically and commercially upon its release, the album has since attained cult status. After Matador Records released the Soft Effects EP in January 1997, Spoon began work on their second full-length album. The band had the option of releasing another album through the label, but by mid-1997 singer Britt Daniel was contemplating leaving Matador, as he felt the indie label viewed Spoon's sound as too commercial. In the fall of 1997, the band agreed to join the major label Elektra Records, officially signing in February 1998, after the new album had been completed. Josh Zarbo, who joined Spoon as bassist in 1997 during work on the album, later pointed out that nearly everything had been recorded prior to the late-1997 deal with Elektra, saying: "that record was pretty much made with Matador in the rearview mirror and Elektra not yet happening."
