Produced again by Phil Ek, making his own major-label debut at 24, the first sessions felt lackluster, so Martsch scrapped them. They started over with Martsch’s high school bandmate Brett Nelson on bass and the Spinanes’ Scott Plouf on drums, where they’d remain for 17 years. Confusingly, Brett Netson of Boise’s Caustic Resin, played guitar. Those tapes were ruined after being left in Ek’s pickup truck. So the third time—with that much more preparation and rehearsal—was the charm, but at the expense of Martsch’s patience. When it came time to tour behind the album, Martsch could barely bring himself to play any of the songs that were on it.\n\nhttps://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/built-to-spill-perfect-from-now-on/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
