Billboard reports that Built to Spill have finished basic tracking for a forthcoming as-yet-untitled album. Not due until spring '09, the album will come on the heels of the band's fall tour performing their 1997 album Perfect From Now On. As for the new album, the songs will be a mix between newly penned material and retooled tracks considered but ultimately dropped from Built To Spill's prior album, 2006's "You in Reverse." Guitarist Doug Martsch tells Billboard.com the sessions have been more collaborative than ever, owing to the fact that the band is recording to Pro Tools rather than analog tape.
"You have endless tracks, so [all three Built To Spill guitarists] can be in a room together and do five takes," he says, adding, "Then, hopefully somebody can go through it and find out what's good."
