Kill the Moonlight is the fourth album from Austin, Texas indie rock band Spoon, released on August 20, 2002 to a great deal of critical acclaim.[1]
"The Way We Get By" was released as a single, and obtained praise from many critics. It was featured on the television shows The O.C. and Hustle as well as in the films Mean Creek, The Puffy Chair, and Stranger Than Fiction. "Don't Let it Get You Down" can be heard in the 2005 comedy Waiting....
The song "Jonathon Fisk" is based on a bullying middle school classmate of songwriter Britt Daniel.[2] According to Daniel, "Fisk" is now a fan of the band, and "came to all of [Spoon's] shows for about two or three years."<ref="nerve">
The album's title comes from a slogan in Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto.
