Few American bands sound as good live as Built to Spill, and even fewer tour as frequently as they do. So you can’t fault the guys for taking a good six years to record their follow-up to There Is No Enemy (a rather underrated piece to their discography, if I do say so myself). But the Boise-based vets are back with a new album, Untethered Moon, this April, and they’ll be back in Oklahoma City shortly thereafter.
Following up their 2013 appearance at Rock for Oklahoma — the tornado-relief benefit that also featured Kings of Leon, The Flaming Lips, and Jackson Browne — the guitar-wielding Idahoans return May 21 for an all-ages show at the ACM@UCO Performance Lab.Portland’s Wooden Indian Burial Ground is set to open, and you can get your tickets Friday via Ticketstorm.
For a glimpse of the band’s new material, check out “Living Zoo,” the first single from Untethered Moon:
