Bridges Over Borders was the fourth album by the Burlington, Ontario-based band Spoons. This was the first Spoons album for Anthem Records, and the first with new players Scott MacDonald (keyboards) and Steve Kendry (drums). Departed keyboard player Rob Preuss received a co-writing credit on the album's title track.
Unlike the band's previous two albums, Bridges Over Borders did not chart, and spun off no hit singles. Bridges Over Borders was issued only on LP and cassette, and has never been reissued in any format.
