Jon Spencer at The Union

Jon Spencer is back, and he is ON FIRE!

Get ready for Jon Spencer & the HITmakers to BURN your playhouse down with their new long-player, SPENCER GETS IT LIT!

The incredible, indelible Jon Spencer (Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, Pussy Galore, Heavy Trash, etc) is back with the incendiary HITmakers (rhythm section from The Bobby Lees) - and with his HOTTEST record yet!

Spencer Gets It Lit is classic Jon Spencer taken to the extremis - electro-boogie, constructivist art pop, a psychedelic swamp of industrial sleaze and futurist elegance. It is an epic master work of freak beat from the world's weirdest garage. Across brain-boggling layers of fury, fuzz guitar, and a crash­ bang battery of phaser blasts, photon torpedoes, and otherworldly zounds, he frantically spits, croons, rhapsodizes, and seduces. Spencer Gets It Lit is his most complex and groovy record in years, a dark, danceable odyssey - both a studied take-down of the early 21st century, and a celebration of the place were electricity meets the mind.

Thirteen wicked hot songs of love, loss, lust, life - from the Farfisa-fueled,warped psycho -punk rave­up of "Junk Man," to the intimate lover's plea of "My Hit Parade," to the outer-space end-of-days country funk of "Worm Town," Spencer Gets It Lit delivers all of the friction, excitement, and post­modern depravity one could ever ask for!

Says Spencer, "Send out the Hit Signal! This is the most uncompromising album I've ever made!"

And the HITs just keep on coming!
