Yea, that is wrong though. I guess I don't have anything to verify that but it always sounded kinda like my loose definition of shoegaze, maybe a general indie rock label would be more accurate though. Can a get a second opinion? It never has the typical sounds of shoegaze, trust me I haven't only heard Loveless ; BTW, as you mentioned Elliott Smith in the 1st paragraph and praised Car, did u know that Elliott actually covered the song a few times in live gigs.
I love that cover of Car I can never decide which one is better. I mean, Elliott is kinda like Jesus to music, but the original is pretty damn great. Elliott made some songs better though, as the cover of Thirteen. But yeah, like I've said a million times, I think Elliott is the best songwriter of all time..
I mean at least the best who's ever got the chance to record. What's your favorite Elliott album? The first two tracks are simply flawless. But I def. In XO, although it's also a superb album, the production is a bit too good and sometimes too many instruments are used in a way.
Acoustic guitar ftw haha. My favourite song is by far Christian Brothers, it's the most heartfelt song I've ever heard in fact. Anyway we could talk about this later, I got some work to do atm.. I'm signed up I rarely use it though Rank: 75 for Built to Spill, the indie rock band hailing from Boise, Idaho, has one of the deepest and most accomplished discographies you can find in the genre. Yes, I said it. The name Doug Martsch may not conjure the same thoughts that a mention of Elliott Smith does, and someone bringing up a song from Keep it Like a Secret may be less common than someone mentioning a song from In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
That being said, this band is definitely a classic in their genre. Though this town is miles southeast of Seattle, almost an eight-hour drive, that's not so far in this part of the country. You have your car, and everything is spread out, and you're always ready to cover ground when you need to. So despite the distance Boise could conceivably be considered part of the Pacific Northwest, if you stretch the definition a little bit, and the music scene there, such as it is, has some connections to its larger neighboring cities.
There's a Boise band called Built to Spill led by Doug Martsch, who used to be in an indie rock band based in Seattle called Treepeople. Two of the stories in the Pacific Northwest rock scene in the '80s and early '90s are the ramshackle D. Martsch's songwriting has some parallels with the wide-eyed and playful perspective of indie pop, but his twee impulses are tempered by his epic guitar work, which is not connected to grunge proper but can be traced to one of the scene's influences, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.
Having made one album, 's Ultimate Alternative Wavers , Built to Spill return to Seattle to record their follow-up, There's Nothing Wrong With Love , the record that would change everything for the band. I'd like to think it doesn't matter, but it does. That relative anonymity, free from the nebulous expectations of what eventually became a sizable fan base, gave Martsch license to write his most personal album.
There's Nothing Wrong With Love , newly reissued on vinyl after being out of print on the format for almost two decades, has come to define a certain strand of indie rock, leaving a cluster of threads picked up by Modest Mouse , Death Cab for Cutie , and many more. But beyond its influence, it captures a truly original songwriting voice at the exact moment he realized what he had to offer.
