Built to Spill's Keep It Like a Secret, presented here as a double LP, is the 1999 record where Doug Martsch's guitar epics learned to fit inside tight, hook-filled songs.
After the sprawling Perfect from Now On, the Boise band sharpened its focus for its second album on a major label, working again with producer Phil Ek. The jams are still there, but trimmed and tuned, so every solo arrives with purpose and every verse feels like it could be a single. It quietly became one of the defining indie rock albums of the decade.
"The Plan" opens with interlocking guitar lines that tumble over each other like puppies. "Carry the Zero" is the fan favorite, all yearning melody and soaring leads, while "Center of the Universe" bounces along with a sly, almost pop grin. "Broken Chairs" closes things with a long, patient build that rewards anyone still listening.
Martsch's high, slightly cracked voice gives the songs their vulnerability, and his lyrics turn small confusions into big, funny, sideways questions about how people get along.
Spread across two discs, the album has room to breathe, which suits all those layered guitars. It belongs on any shelf that takes guitar music seriously, right next to the records it went on to influence.
