Spoon came up out of Austin, Texas in the mid-90s and quietly became one of the most dependable bands in indie rock. Britt Daniel's clipped vocals and the band's lean, rhythm-first sound, drawing on rock, alternative, and touches of folk, produced songs like "The Way We Get By," "I Turn My Camera On," and "The Underdog," and they've kept the standard high for decades without ever getting flashy about it.

Kill the Moonlight (2002). It's the album where their spare, groove-driven sound fully clicked, and it has "The Way We Get By," "Don't Let It Get You Down," and "Small Stakes" all on one record.
Biography
