Indie rock band Built to Spill have decided to change their sound after 18 years. The band will be redoing some of their songs with ‘80 synths and drum machines. They will release a seven song EP which will be on sale during their concerts called The Electronic Anthology Project EP. The tracks will be redone solely by lead guitarist Doug Martsch and bassist Brett Nelson.

If the story wasn’t interesting enough BtS will also be renaming the songs with the anagram of the original title. Still don’t believe that this is true, listen below to “Esle” (Else) and tell us what you think.
