Built to Spill announce new album Untethered Moon; yep, guitars are still out there

Guys. I think the thing is: things just take a long time to happen in Boise, Idaho. There’s no giant urban sprawl to cause stress, no legit sports teams to get amped about, and potatoes are plentiful, making most meals you can order in any of the myriad fast food joints and budget diners cheap as balls. So basically, I think everyone’s just kinda chillaxing at Denny’s most nights of the week sipping bottomless cups of coffee, dipping huge baskets of waffle fries into absurd vats of ranch dressing and marinara sauce, and “catching up” on that “new show” Dexter while waiting out yet another carbohydrate coma.

SO YEAH. That’s why it’s taken Boise’s Built to Spill approximately six years to follow-up 2009’s There Is No Enemy… which, YEAH, according to Consequence of Sound, they’re finally getting around to doing this April. The new album is called Untethered Moon, which… is a title that ALSO sounds like it probably took six years to think-up. (Ba-ziiiiiiing!)

Anyway, again, kinda like Idaho: there’s kinda not that much else fit to report other than that. The band still likes guitars a lot and is playing some shows that feature guitars as the main instruments this coming spring — in a presumably calm and unhurried manner — oh, and there’s a live version of one of the new album songs floating around the internet that you can watch down below. If you feel like it. Take your time. Whenever, really. No rush. Have some waffle fries first.
