The Electronic Anthology Project

The Electronic Anthology Project began as the idea of Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson. Always having loved and been greatly influenced by 1980s new wave music, he wondered what a guitar-driven band like Built to Spill would sound like if made a little more new wave (circa 1982). The EP was released on March 19, 2010.{{Cite web|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14584-the-electronic-anthology-project/|title=The Electronic Anthology Project: The Electronic Anthology Project Album Review - Pitchfork|website=pitchfork.com|access-date=2016-07-15}}{{Cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/built_to_spill_give_themselves_electro_makeover_as_electronic_anthology_project|title=Built to Spill Give Themselves an Electro Makeover as the Electronic Anthology Project|work=Exclaim|access-date=2016-07-15}}
