There Is No Enemy

Built to Spill

A warm, expansive collection of guitar-driven indie rock. Patient arrangements and earnest vocals create a sense of comfortable, mid-tempo existentialism.

October 2, 2009 · ATP Recordings

A seasoned, melodic reflection on existence that balances guitar-heavy psychedelia with a calm, autumnal warmth.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the guitars intertwine into a dense, melodic web during the extended outro of Tomorrow
The sudden, crunchy shift in energy when Pat breaks the album's otherwise mellow, contemplative flow
The delicate cello arrangement on Nowhere Lullaby that provides a soft bed for the vocal melody
