Built to Spill are a week away from releasing their first album in six years, Untethered Moon (due 4/21 via Warner Bros), and they’re now streaming the entire thing ahead of its release. Check it out over at NPR.

Built to Spill also just played Coachella this past weekend. Here’s what Whittier Daily News wrote about their set:

The Idaho-based group appeared to be the victim of an early time slot as the band played at 4:15 p.m. on the outdoor theatre stage as the festival grounds were somewhat empty likely because of the late sets Saturday night.

…Doug Martsch, lead singer of the group, was happy with the turnout on stage.

“Hey thanks for coming over and standing in the sun and listening to us,” Martsch said. “We really appreciate it.”

The group’s set began with the songs “Strange,” “Goin’ Against Your Mind” and “Stab” before moving on to “Living Zoo,” “Joyride” and “Carry The Zero.”

You can check out a vine from their set below.

The band plays Coachella again this coming weekend, and also have other dates, including a Coachella sideshow this week with Brand New (who just put out their first new song in 6 years) and Desaparecidos. They come to NYC for a Northside Festival show with Best Coast, Alvvays and Bully (tickets).
