Built to Spill performs on NPR
Last night, on October 10, Built to Spill performed in Washington DC as the show was streamed on NPR. Having a large repertoire of music they have written over the past 15 years, Doug Martsch and Built to Spill performed 15 songs, for a total of 108 minutes. Three of the songs were from their latest release, You In Reverse.
NPR states, "With Neil Young and Pavement as influences, Built to Spill developed a trademark sound of gracefully winding guitar interplay, spiraling solos and Martsch's distinctive, emotionally-charged voice. They've just released their first collection of new songs in five years. Fans and critics are calling You in Reverse one of the band’s best albums to date."
Before the show, Built to Spill sat down for an interview with NPR. In the interview they discuss the band history, modern music, writing and recording, guitar amps, and finding the right guitar tone.
Built to Spill's You In Reverse was also featured on NPR's All Things Considered.
