The Electronic Anthology Project is Built To Spill’s Doug Martsch and Brett Nelson, redoing their own songs with ’80s synths and drum machines. It doesn’t sound like something BTS would do, but, according to the project’s MySpace page, the seven-song EP will be on sale at upcoming Built To Spill shows, so it seems like it’s legit. Each re-interpretation is also re-titled with an anagram of the song’s original titles. But the guys list their names as “Dug Martsch & brett neLson.” Seems like they could have gone for anagrams as well, maybe Dutch Orgasm & Bolt Rennets?
Have a listen to “Eels” (“Else”):
Hear two more at MySpace. The Electronic Anthology Project EP is out now via CDBaby. The tracklist:
01 “I Dim Our Angst In Agony” (“Goin’ Against Your Mind”)
02 “Age I Felt” (“Get A Life”)
03 “At The Where” (“The Weather”)
04 “Eels” (“Else”)
05 “What If Your Dull” (“I Would Hurt A Fly”)
06 “A Gloss Siren” (“Israel’s Song”)
07 “Far Path Tall Sign” (“Things Fall Apart”)

Love Built To Spill. This kind of sounds like they should have played this live on an episode of Mario And Friends or whatever the live action Mario & Luigi variety show and cartoon was called.
God bless ‘em. Pop outstanding.
Glad they didn’t butcher any of their ‘classics’.
Man, I wish I had saved that MGMT video for this post.

Built to Spill and the boys from Wesleyan should team up. But not live, because that would ruin BtS.
Oops, Electric Anthology Project, not Built to Spill.
Forgive the slip.
These guys have special meaning to me; BtS was one of the songs I was given by my first love. Ah teenage nostalgia.
