Can’t be blamed for forgetting about them.
I’ve even forgotten about Spoon a little at this point, and they’re a much more consistent band. But Jesus, Spoon was primed to inherit form Wilco as well, but after 2010, they never really had another album that splashed with more than critics.
Sad what’s happened to indie rock in the ‘10s.

Ain't that the truth. I feel like so much of pop culture and music is so recycled nowadays. There's no originality left, or it's completely undervalued.
But yeah there was a time when I too thought MMJ were going to keep making records like Z, and then they kinda faded out of my consciousness.
Still, great record that.
