84: Spoon’s Girls Can Tell (2001)

This album, in between sharp jabs and sparing bounce, features Daniels’ broad scope of influences while chiseling away at the Spoon sound we started to grasp with Series of Sneaks. I know the popular vote is for Kill the Moonlight (also great), but the combined strength of all the songs on Girls Can Tell make this one my favorite of the bunch.

Unless you want to drive around listening to “Sister Jack”.
