What’s your go-to “the weather is getting warm” album?

A little lazy, a little sleazy—nothing captures the slow vibe of a warm quasi-summer afternoon like the strains of Spoon’s 2005 hit Gimme Fiction. You could probably write 1,000 words just on the feelings evoked by lead single “I Turn My Camera On,” a song I’m pretty sure no human being has ever listened to in its entirety without shimmying their shoulders at least a little. But the whole of Gimme Fiction is shot through with a paradoxically lethargic energy— the kind of thing that makes you excited to build up your strength to do a whole lot of nothing but basking in the steadily rising heat for an entire afternoon.
