There's Nothing Wrong With Love
Ever since Boise, Idaho, trio Built to Spill emerged on national radar with its major label releasePerfect from Now On(Warner), its earlier recordings are infused with a certain prediscovery mystique. On 1994'sThere's Nothing Wrong with Love, the roots of Built to Spill's shimmering orchestral arrangements are present, but with a distinctly tattered edge. Frontman Doug Martsch bounds from moody balladry to primal screams, often in the same songs. Add the crunch of Brett Nelson's guitar, and you wipe the sheen off 12 songs that would be just plain pretty, if not for their garage rock soul.--Nick Heil
