Built To Spill Stream New Album There Is No Enemy on MySpace
 Built To Spill |
You’ve heard “Things Fall Apart” (via Stereogum) and “Hindsight” (via Pitchfork), but now you can dive all the way in and lose yourself in Built To Spill‘s trademark sea of guitars and dense, layered sounds. “Oh Yeah” highlights the band at their tense, slow-burning best, while the track that follows it, “Pat,” is one of the fastest songs they have ever recorded.
There Is No Enemy is out Tuesday, 10/06 via Warner Bros.
Stream the album at: myspace.com/builttospill.
BTS is currently on a massive tour; dates available here.
