Built to Spill

Built to Spill had just released their album "You in Reverse" in April 2006, a record that marked a significant point in their evolution as a band. This album showcased their ability to blend intricate guitar work with reflective lyrics, something that fans had come to expect from Doug Martsch and crew. By the time they played at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA, in July 2007, they were riding a wave of renewed interest following the album's release. The live recording you mentioned captures that vibrant energy, reflecting their skill in crafting both layered soundscapes and authentic, relatable stories. It's fascinating how Martsch, influenced by his time in Treepeople, brought that same spirit of exploration to Built to Spill, often treating live shows as a platform for improvisation. That night in Lancaster wasn't just another gig; it was a celebration of what makes Built to Spill so special: their ability to connect through sound while leaving room for spontaneity and creativity
