More Info:
With 2 albums and a heap of singles, Built to Spill have earned a large core of fans and have become a fixture in the upper reaches of CMJ's charts. Their highly anticipated WB debut stretches 54 minutes over the course of 8 epic songs. Songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Doug Martsch blends the organic power of a 3-piece electric band with the orchestral sweep of mellotrons, celli and various eccentric keyboards. First single/video: "Untrustable."Reviews:
''Perfect from Now On'' is the third full-length album released by Built to Spill, and the band's first major label (Warner Bros.) release. The line-up for the album was singer/guitarist Doug Martsch, bassist Brett Nelson, and drummer Scott Plouf. It was recorded at the Avast! Recording Company in Seattle, Washington by Phil Ek. Stylistically, the album was marked by its experimentation with longer song structures, philosophical lyrics, and the incorporation of cello.
The album was essentially recorded three times. The first time, Martsch attempted to play all the instruments except drums. He and Phil Ek were dissatisfied with the results, so Martsch brought in Nelson and Plouf and recorded the album again. However, these tapes were destroyed by heat when Ek was driving from Seattle to Boise to record additional overdubs. The band rehearsed some more, then recorded the album a third time. ''Perfect from Now On'' was released to widespread critical acclaim on January 28, 1997. Pitchfork.com ranked this album at #22 on its "Top 100 Albums of the 90s" list. It was re-released with a bonus track ("Easy Way") on vinyl in 2007.
In September 2008, the band embarked on a three-month tour to perform the album in its entirety. - Wikipedia
