16 Years Ago: Built to Spill’s ‘Perfect From Now On’ Album Released
After two albums on super-small indie labels, Built to Spill took advantage of their growing buzz by signing with a major record company in 1995. The move not only gave the Idaho trio’s third album, ‘Perfect From Now On,’ a desperately needed promotional push, it also upped the amount of time and cash spent on the recording. The result was the band’s first great album, an eight-song noise mountain that owed as much to Neil Young’s epic guitar showdowns as it did to indie-rock’s DIY aesthetic.
