Built to Spill's new album There Is No Enemy (their first in three years after 2006's You In Reverse) comes out Oct. 6. They've scheduled a fall tour that kicks off in Oregon in 10 days, taking these masters of bendy, heartfelt bombast down the West Coast and to states like Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. States just like ours, only in cities that will make us feel like shit when we find out that they won't be playing in Nashville, but Memphis. What's Memphis ever done for anybody? I kid. Hey, would it make you feel even worse to know that the dates immediately after the Memphis appearance are with Dinosaur Jr.? Because they are.

Anyhoo, hit the road Oct. 21 to hear songs off the new record that frontman Doug Martsch has described as "pretty poppy" and "with lots of guitars." Sounds like a real departure. Full schedule after the jump-a-tron.

I am a damn fool for missing their City Hall show last time they passed through. Love B2S. Best band ever. Looks like I'm going to Memphis.

My stepfather looks just like David Bowie, but he hates David Bowie. I think Bowie's cool. I think Lodger rules, and my stepdad's a fool.

You feel, you feel, you feel, like you are on the verge of something real, on a roll and built to spill. This is how you'll always feel, its no big deal.
