Pitchfork: Correction: Built to Spill Not Controlled by Demon

Correction: Built to Spill Not Controlled by Demon
But they are putting out a new single

It has come to our attention that, contrary to false information reported by Pitchfork on Wednesday afternoon, Built to Spill do not actually "take orders from a tiny, omnipotent demonic being" named Gurguroth.

While this psychic monstrosity is renowned throughout the music industry for allegedly controlling the careers of such other bands as the Goo Goo Dolls, Blake Shelton, and Lil Scrappy, we have been assured by Warner label spokespersons that Gurguroth does not, in fact, have any hand whatsoever in determining Built to Spill's touring or release schedules, nor does he reside within the billowy depths of Doug Martsch's beard, where he could theoretically sustain himself on small crumbs and various soup particles.

Pitchfork regrets the error.

In related news, Built to Spill will release a new single on Warner Bros. Records on July 10: new song "They Got Away" backed by a cover of the Gladiators' "Re-Arrange". Yes, the reggae Gladiators. In fact, both songs are reggae songs. But, according to a press release, Doug Martsch says, "I want to make sure that people don't think we are becoming a reggae band. We play reggae because we love to play it."

The single will be available as a 12" and digital download, and will be in stores, online, and for sale at the band's many, many shows from July 10 onward. Those shows again...
