As far as indie bands go, Built To Spill has fared remarkably well in the larger marketplace. Since signing with a major label nearly 20 years ago—an impressive feat for any band of their ilk—they’ve scored any number of successful albums while still managing to tour consistently, garnering the ongoing support of both their record company and their devoted following in the process. Not surprisingly then, Untethered Moon, the group’s first new offering since 2009’s well-received There Is No Enemy, showcases a band that’s revived and resolute, chock-full of assertive riffs and sizzling rhythms. The opening salvo of “All Our Songs” sets the mood, a fearsome combination of bombastic guitars and screeching vocals that likens Built To Spill to the aural equivalent of a ticking time bomb. Echoes of their prime influences— Pavement, Crazy Horse and Dinosaur Jr.—are evident throughout, especially in the combined melody and mayhem that defines “Living Zoo,” “On The Way” and “Another Day.” Along the way, they give listeners plenty to connect with as far as recurrent refrains and fist-pumping exhortations are concerned. Call it controlled excess or unrepentant rock. Untethered Moon falls just short of coming unhinged.
