Album: Kill The Moonlight
Year: 2002
. . .
Because it just celebrated its 20th anniversary and is considered by many to be Spoon’s best album — a take I respectfully disagree with — 2002’s Kill The Moonlight has been in the zeitgeist recently, no doubt causing a bit of “holy shit, I’m getting old!” angst in Millennials for whom it was a key text. (And as somebody who just bought the 40th anniversary reissue of Chronic Town, just you wait.)
Anyways, coming just a year after Girls Can Tell — the fastest between-album turnaround Britt Daniel will ever accomplish — Kill The Moonlight took the minimalist tendencies found on that record and turned them up to 10, or down to 1, as the case may be.
