Perfect From Now On

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Built to Spill; Genre: Indie Rock

Built to Spill get a lot of mileage out of going nowhere in particular. Muddling around in a fog of spacey guitar, nasal vocals, and meandering song structures, they seem to stumble onto melodies by accident. But what melodies they are! When the fuzzy guitar lines and pinched vocal whines mysteriously mutate into recognizable songs, Perfect from Now On discovers beauty in its excess.
