Built To Spill Ancient Melodies of the Future
Built To Spill Ancient Melodies of the Future release date 20010000

With a band like Built to Spill, the key to success seems to chart a course through the future that mirrors the past. Built to Spill may be on a major label, but its lynchpin, frontman Doug Martsch, still writes all the music and lyrics himself and has a large hand in every album's production from start to finish. Martsch assembles the players--drummer Scott Plouf and bassist Brett Nelson--to take their parts in the studio and on tour, but he still holds all the musical cards. As a result, the Boise, Idaho-based trio sounds pretty much the same on Ancient Melodies of the Future as it did on 1997's Perfect from Now On and 1999's Keep It Like a Secret. That said, though, why change a winning formula? Martsch's mix of wry humor, Neil Young-influenced rock, and soaring indie pop ballads have garnered him a Guided by Voices-like cult following that Ancient is in no danger of turning away. "In Your Mind" is the album standout, with Martsch's fitting assertion that "No one can tell me to listen / no one can tell me what's right / because nobody has my permission / and no one can see in your mind." The other tracks are tried-and-true BTS fare, bending guitar effects around straight-ahead rock ("Trimmed and Burning") or layering warm melodies atop Martsch's elliptical lyrics. Indie-rock fans looking for something wildly divergent or refreshingly different won't find either on Ancient Melodies, but those looking for a linear extension of BTS's past works should find a happy resistance to change in this latest release.
