Built to Spill

In July 2007, when Built to Spill lit up the Metro Theatre in Sydney, they were riding high on the momentum of their album *You in Reverse*, released just a year prior. This album marked a significant pivot for the band, showcasing a more expansive sound that mixed their classic indie rock roots with intricate arrangements and layered melodies. It’s also fascinating to note that this was a time when the band was enjoying a resurgence in their popularity, drawing in both dedicated fans and curious newcomers. The live recording of “You Were Right” captures that raw energy and spontaneity that Built to Spill is known for, while also highlighting Doug Martsch's introspective lyrics and engaging stage presence. Plus, their connection with the audience during these performances is something special—every note feels like an invitation to be part of a shared experience. Isn't that what live music is all about? Just a bunch of souls connected through rhythm and sound.
