\u2018SPENCER GETS IT LIT\u2019\u00a0is classic Jon Spencer taken to the extremis \u2013\u00a0electro-boogie, constructivist art pop, a\u00a0psychedelic swamp\u00a0of industrial sleaze and futurist elegance. It is an epic master work of freak beat from the world\u2019s weirdest garage.\u00a0Across brain-boggling layers of\u00a0fury,\u00a0fuzz guitar, and a\u00a0crash-bang\u00a0battery of phaser blasts, photon torpedoes, and otherworldly zounds, he frantically spits, croons, rhapsodizes, and seduces.\u00a0Spencer Gets It Lit<\/em>\u00a0is his most complex and groovy record in years, a dark, danceable odyssey \u2013 both a studied take-down of the early 21st\u00a0century, and a celebration of the place where electricity meets the mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thirteen wicked hot songs of love, loss, lust, life \u2014\u00a0from the\u00a0Farfisa-fueled warped psycho-punk rave-up of JUNK MAN<\/em><\/a>, to the clanking cri de coeur of\u00a0DEATH RAY<\/em><\/a>, to the outer-space end-of-days country funk of WORM TOWN<\/a><\/em>, Spencer Gets It Lit<\/em>\u00a0delivers\u00a0all of the friction, excitement, and post-modern depravity one could ever ask for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says Spencer, “Send out the Hit Signal! This is the most uncompromising album I’ve ever made!”<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
