Hanni El Khatib’s latest LP is “Moonlight.” It’s a personal album in the most primal sense, put together in any way that worked. Iggy Pop and David Bowie did this kind of thing on “The Idiot,” the Wu-Tang Clan did it on “36 Chambers” and the Clash did it three times over on “Sandinista.” And now it’s Hanni’s turn, across 11 new lightning-struck songs, each written and recorded in its own flash of inspiration. It sounds like an album made by an endless list of collaborators, but really “Moonlight” was more like the first do-it-almost-all-yourself music Hanni ever made, except after six years recording and touring, he’d learned to do so much more.
