Built to Spill’s seventh studio album There Is No Enemy is the product of three-and-a-half laborious years and a process that involved the construction and deconstruction of an album in search of the ideal sound. The results are extremely refined, richly layered, energetic introspective indie rock, replete with loose expansive jams, mid-tempo ballads and inventive guitar solos. There Is No Enemy features candid musings on consumerism, politics, and identity. Fans of Built to Spill, who are discriminating in their own right, will be very pleased as this addition to the discography reaffirms Built to Spill’s reign as one of indie rock’s premier acts. – Written by JFelton
