Spencer, Jon & the Hitmakers

Marc Riley’s “Album of the Year 2022” “A sonic witchdoctor who’ll blow your mind” – Uncut **** “Hugely entertaining” – Mojo **** Spencer Gets It Lit is his most complex, groovy, and fun record in years; a dark and danceable odyssey – both a studied take-down of the early 21st century, and a celebration of the place where electricity meets the mind. Spencer himself says “Send out the HIT signal! This is the most uncompromising record I’ve ever made!” With Sam Coomes (Quasi) and Bob Bert (Pussy Galore, Sonic Youth) and of course Jon Spencer (Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, Heavy Trash). Spencer mixes hitmaking with troublemaking, calling out Zuckerberg, Bezos, and, er, Jagger (“You got nothin' on me!!”). Spencer Gets It Lit is classic Jon Spencer taken to the extremis –electro-boogie, constructivist art pop, a cocktail of industrial sleaze and futurist elegance.
