Although the Electronic Anthology Project, Doug Martsch and Brett Nelson of Built to Spill’s electro-savvy duo, first popped up on MySpace back in the spring, the pair only recently dropped their self-titled debut. As Pop Candy points out, the album consists of 7 new versions of classic Built to Spill songs “in the vein of the 80s 12-inch remix,” and each track’s title is an anagram of the original.

Currently available only via CD Baby and at Built to Spill shows (including on their tour with Kings of Leon), The Electronic Anthology Project features drum machine and synth-backed takes on Keep It Like a Secret’s “Else” (retitled “Eels”), “Get a Life” from Built to Spill’s debut LP, Ultimate Alternative Wavers, “I Would Hurt A Fly” (aka “What If Your Dull”), and 4 more. 

Buy the album here, stream the aforementioned 3 songs on MySpace now, and check out “Eels,” as well as the tracklist, below:
