Spoon - Kill The Moonlight
The sort of music to which you can dance in your bedroom - or, at least, the kind of music to which I tend to dance in my bedroom. It's very catchy, building songs out of wiry, nagging, repetitive rhythms, simple structures and minimalist arrangements - often departing from the guitar-bass-drums template but always underlaid by a firm grasp of rock-pop dynamics...in some sense which I can't quite define, I think that this is very charismatic music. "Jonathon Fisk" and "The Way We Get By" are the best songs on the album, but I also particularly like "Don't Let It Get You Down" and "All The Pretty Girls Go To The City".
