“Built To Spill are the AC/DC of indie rock. The album consistently is a testament to Martsche’s
perfectionism – and for that, we salute him.” – Rolling Stone
“Untethered Moon is a record flush with blustery guitar passages, hooks and heart…chugging ramblers
with psych moves and serpentine melodies around every corner…towering shards of incendiary guitar.” –
