Warner Bros. Records to Release Two Brand-New Tracks From Built to Spill on July 10, 2007
Boise, Idaho Quintet on Tour in the U.S. Through September
BURBANK, CA--(Marketwire - June 28, 2007) - Warner Bros. Records will release two reggae-flavored tracks -- a brand-new song titled "They Got Away" and a cover of The Gladiators' "Re-Arrange" -- from Boise, Idaho quintet BUILT TO SPILL on July 10th. The tracks will be available from online retailers as digital downloads and in stores as a 12"-vinyl single. The single will also be on sale on tour dates after July 10, listed below, while supplies last.
The two tracks -- the first new music from BUILT TO SPILL since their 2006 album "You In Reverse" -- were recorded last year while the band was on tour in support of the album, which was recently re-released, along with 1997's "Perfect From Now On" and 1999's "Keep It Like A Secret," in limited edition vinyl. Songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Doug Martsch explains that reggae is not necessarily the new direction that BTS is headed. "'They Got Away,' came out of jamming. This one jam just took on a life of its own, it evolved over time. We were reluctant to do a reggae song but we started to really like it. We figured it's a good reggae song, might as well run with it." Doug further explains the recording process of the tracks: "Dave Tromfio (producer/mixer - Wilco, Ok Go) recorded it very stripped down, close to the live versions, no overdubs, only the overdubs of the effects. We just happened to stumble upon a reggae song that we couldn't not do. I want to make sure that people don't think we are becoming a reggae band. We play reggae because we love to play it."
