Water Sleepers, the latest album by Built To Spill, is a masterpiece of indie rock. The band's signature sound of intricate guitar work and introspective lyrics is present throughout the album, but with a new level of maturity and depth.
From the opening track "Slow Down" to the closing song "Real Life," the listener is taken on a journey of self-reflection and contemplation. The lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, while the music is a perfect blend of intricate guitar work and melodic hooks.
One standout track is "Living Zoo," which features a driving rhythm section and a catchy chorus. The song is a perfect example of Built To Spill's ability to create music that is both complex and accessible.
Another highlight of the album is "All Our Songs," a beautiful ballad that showcases lead singer Doug Martsch's unique voice. The song is a heartfelt ode to the power of music and its ability to connect people.
