Built to Spill

In November 1993, Built to Spill was still basking in the glow of their album "There's Nothing Wrong with Love," released just a month earlier. This live recording features Doug Martsch, the band's lead singer and guitarist, sharing insights during an acoustic set and interview on 'The End' Radio. At this stage in their career, Built to Spill had yet to achieve the widespread acclaim that would come with future albums, but they were already carving out a distinctive niche in the indie rock landscape. One interesting tidbit is that Martsch's candidness in the interview highlights his authentic approach to songwriting and musicianship, a characteristic that would only deepen as the band evolved. The raw energy and intimacy of this session perfectly capture the early spirit of the band, where each note feels like a promise of the unique sound they would become known for. It’s truly fascinating to hear the humble beginnings of what would grow into a cult favorite!
