Spoon released a new album, Hot Thoughts, last month via Matador. Previously they shared the album’s first single, title track “Hot Thoughts,” as well as a video for the song and a strange video for “Can I Sit Next to You.” Today they stopped by Ellen to perform “Hot Thoughts.” Ellen DeGeneres, who has been bringing great indie rock bands to daytime TV for several years now, introduced Spoon by saying: “I love this band so much and I am obsessed with this song.” Watch the performance below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Matador, released Spoon’s debut album, 1996’s Telephono (although most of their albums came out via Merge and their last one, 2014’s They Want Your Soul, was released by major label subsidiary Loma Vista). Hot Thoughts was co-produced by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, MGMT) and Spoon.
