built to last.

built to spill: you in reverse.
sometimes i worry that after so many years of the same old songs, i’m growing bored of built to spill. but then they release a new album and i reluctantly buy it, and before the first verse even fades out, i’m hooked. you in reverse is no exception to this rule. since it’s release a few weeks back, i have once again found myself shamelessly floating around in indie-jam band heaven. let’s face it, doug martsch is cuter than a yawning bear cub and had this album been released during the snow-capped winter months, i would have cuddled up in bed and hibernated with it.

including the subtle lineup changes, there’s nothing unexpected about this album. built to spill are built to last, sticking with the same familiar sounds which have won them a large and loyal fanbase. but maybe that’s not such a bad thing. maybe, built to spill is the best friend you can count on to consistently give you what you need. if what you need is sugary, but sharp-witted lyrics thrown over psychedelic guitar solos stretching over eight minutes long. and really, isn’t that what we all need sometimes? make you melt tracks: "goin’ against your mind," "liar," and "gone."
