"The Killing Moon" is a great 'Echo & the Bunnymen' song from their 1984 album 'Ocean Rain'... it was them at their finest. A big ask for anyone willing enough to cover it... why bother really? Well, that is what I thought until I heard Pavement's 1999 version from their 'Major Leagues' EP. They didn't try to reinvent it... Stephen Malkmus sang it in the same style he sings his own 'Pavement' songs and the band played on as per usual... but the result was spectacular. Indie rock from the 80's and the 90's could be explained by this song alone.
