Pitchfork: Built to Spill Announce Massive Tour

You knew they were coming, but you didn't know when. Last time we checked in with Built to Spill, they had set a title (You in Reverse) and a release date (April 11) for their upcoming album, their first since 2001's Ancient Melodies of the Future.

At that point, a measly two shows had been scheduled. Now, Doug Martsch and co. have announced an avalanche of a tour that will bring them to all corners of the nation in April and May. A month before kickoff, they'll do their duty for The Man by playing the Warner Bros. SXSW showcase.
