Untethered Moon

Built to Spill

A lean, guitar-forward return to form. Stripped of excess orchestration, these ten tracks prioritize melodic grit and expansive, psychedelic soloing.

It's the sound of the 90s indie guitar god coming back to show everyone how it's actually done.

A revitalized blend of guitar-driven energy and nostalgic, mid-life reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the tight, melodic structure of 'When I'm Blind' into a massive, feedback-drenched guitar freakout that lasts for minutes.
The punchy, rhythmic interplay of the bass and drums on 'Living Zoo' that gives the track a nervous, animalistic energy.
The opening chords of 'All Our Songs' which immediately signal a return to the band's classic, soaring indie rock sound.
