Built To Spill is an American indie rock band, which consists of singer/guitarist Doug Martsch and a revolving door of other members. Having played in a number of other bands in Idaho throughout the 80's, Martsch formed Built To Spill in 1992 with drummer Ralf Youtz and guitarist/bassist Bret Netson. Taking cues from the likes of Dinosaur Jr., Neil Young and Pavement, Martsch and company gained critical praise for their catchy sound and musical proficiency. Their style would in turn be heavily influential on fellow indie rockers such as Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie.Every album after their first release has featured a different lineup of backing musicians, which is something that Doug Martsch specifically planned. Their most recent album, Untethered Moon, was released in 2015 and they continue to be one of the more highly regarded bands in modern indie rock.No relation to BTS.

Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Lyrically, they're somewhere in the middle. | |

Band of Relatives | |
| Built To Spill (Music) / int_3b84b916 | comment |
Band of Relatives: Not a straight example, but Martsch is married to the sister of former drummer Ralf Youtz. | |

Epic Rocking | |
| Built To Spill (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: Not the most extreme example, Perfect From Now On was noted for containing longer song lengths than usual, with most songs on the album clocking in at about 6-8 minutes. Notably, the live version of "Broken Chairs" as well as their cover of "Cortez the Killer" (both from the Live album) are both around 20 minutes long. | |

I Am the Band | |
| Built To Spill (Music) / int_919c59b6 | comment |
I Am the Band: Martsch's vision from the get-go would be to record each album with a different lineup of musicians each time. He's released some solo material, but Built To Spill has basically always been "The Doug Martsch Band". Despite Martsch's initial vision, the band's lineup retained bassist Brett Nelson and drummer Scott Plouf for over 18 years. Guitarist Jim Roth and bassist-turned-guitarist Brett Netson (not to be confused with Brett Nelson) also spent many years as either touring musicians, session musicians, or full members. | |

Cover Album | |
| Built To Spill (Music) / int_b58c6c9d | comment |
Cover Album: Built to Spill Plays the Songs of Daniel Johnston. In 2017, the band were asked to play as a backing band for a few dates of Daniel Johnston's final tour, and prior to the performances, they decided to record their arrangements in studio (without Johnston) for posterity. After Daniel Johnston's death, they decided to release the recordings as a tribute. Unoriginal Artists, credited to Boise Cover Band, consists of seven cover songs: though technically Boise Cover band were a Doug Martsh side project who only recorded while Built To Spill were on hiatus, the album is available digitally on Built To Spill's official bandcamp page, which describes it as "basically a Built to Spill album". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Built To Spill (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Nowhere Nothin' Fuckup" is named after a fictional song mentioned in Philip K. Dick's "Flow My Tears", The Policeman Said. The verses are largely based on "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" by Velvet Underground "Dystopian Dream Girl" mentions David Bowie and his album Lodger. "Planting Seeds" mentions Bill Hicks: "I think Bill Hicks was right / About what they should do". Based on the previous lines "I heard that they'll sell anything / and I think they might", it's a likely allusion to a monologue Hicks had about how advertising executives should commit suicide. | |

Lyrical Dissonance: A few songs feature upbeat-sounding riffs with somewhat depressing lyrics. | |
