Built to Spill have confirmed their first tour
dates for the New Year in support of the current Warner Bros. Records album, THERE
IS NO ENEMY. Dates begin Feb 23rd in San
Francisco. All confirmed dates are listed below.
There Is No Enemy is the band's first
album since 2006's You In Reverse. Previous studio albums
include 2001's Ancient Melodies of the Future, 1999's Keep
It Like A Secret, and their major-label debut, 1997's Perfect
From Now On. In 2012 Built to Spill still remain an influential force
in compositionally intelligent, lyrically thoughtful, melodic, guitar-centric
rock music:
"Built To Spill CEO Doug Martsch is alt-rock's Thomas
Pynchon, holed up in a remote studio and issuing immaculate artworks when he
damn well pleases. Their components are all about simple, melodic beauty, writ
large - prog rock for pop purists." - Rolling Stone
"Boise's answer to Crazy Horse...they still
flourish." - Spin
"Built To Spill has been leading the resurgence of
indie-guitar rock virtuoso for 20 years now. Doug Martsch conducts an orchestra
of feedback like a lightning god bringing the storm. As ever, Martsch proves
capable of anthropomorphizing a bent string and imbuing it with more emotion
than many bands' vocals and lyrics." - Alternative Press
