Ancient Melodies of the Future by Built To Spill: Indie/Alt. Rock. This is the band’s sixth studio album and was something of a return to the poppy sounds of their masterpiece There’s Nothing Wrong With Love. The songs tend to be more of the ballad type but as usual the guitars sing, the rhythm section is solid and the melodies are subtle yet poppy. This band hadn’t made a bad album before this was released and this just continued their run of fantastic form. TWH: Strange; Happiness; Fly Around My Pretty Little Head
