Once hailed as one of the most popular indie rock acts of the early 90’s, Built to Spill is back with their latest musical endeavor, There Is No Enemy. If you aren’t familiar with the group (because I certainly wasn’t) their sound rests somewhere between postmodern, Pavement-style pop and the jam band sessions of Neil Young. Fans of this indie band will be ecstatic to hear that this new album, truly features the laborious efforts of lead singer/guitarist/song-writer Doug Martsch who had to “undigitally remix the record” because the first live takes lacked their trademark discordant tone and feel.

There Is No Enemy is a quirky, discordant, indie album that is somehow ambient in nature. Though a tad banal but still entertaining, if Built To Spill is your cup of tea then you should be in indie band heaven. There Is No Enemy is available 10/06/09.
