Built to Spill Performs 'Strange' at Chameleon Club, Lancaster

Venue: Chameleon Club Location: Lancaster, PA, United States Date: April 11, 2006

Built to Spill had just released their sixth studio album, "You in Reverse," in April 2006, a mere few months before the live performance that took place at Chameleon Club in July 2007. This album marked a notable transition for the band, featuring a more expansive sound and a richer production quality compared to previous efforts. It's interesting to note that "You in Reverse" was actually their first album in six years, following a hiatus that had fans biting their nails in anticipation. The Lancaster show, captured in a live video titled "Built to Spill in Lancaster - Strange," showcases the band's signature blend of intricate guitar work and emotive songwriting, traits that have always defined their sound. What's captivating about this period is that Doug Martsch's songwriting was heavily influenced by his evolving life perspectives and experimental urges, making their live performances a raw, genuine experience filled with unexpected moments.
