Spoon are still planning to unleash their five Ga attack on the U.S. on July 10, but now they're perfectly set up for the tactical deployment of their new album in the UK, Europe, and Australia as well. The UK/European release on July 9 comes courtesy of the band's signing to Anti- Records-- home to Tom Waits, Neko Case, Nick Cave, and more-- for distribution there, and the Australian release (July 7) will be on Spoon's previous Aussie label, Spunk.

Spoon are still very much on Merge in North America, though, and they have set up a website with the label to stream a new song from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga every day until June 15, when each song will be individually streamable. The record's first three songs ("Don't Make Me a Target", "The Ghost of You Lingers", and "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb") are up now.

Spoon have also expanded their previously reported tour a little bit, and soon they will announce even more summer and European dates as well as a fall U.S. tour. Their current dates continue June 10 in Chula Vista, California.
