While you never can tell when another blizzard (or overhyped flurries) will add another day to winter, the record release calendar is just starting to heat up.
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
Built to Spill fans have had to learn to be patient over the last decade or so -- the band has only released three albums since 2001 -- but this is shaping up to be a very productive year, with a busy tour schedule and new music on the horizon.
