It's a consummately modern band-makes-good story: using MySpace, band pretends to exist, then turns out to have talent. Chris Larsen may not be the quartet he faked, but what does it matter if he can play every part? B.B. makes dreamy indie pop, handclaps and major chords building to anti-anthems.
Buildings Breeding multi-instrumentalist Chris Larsen started this project as a complete farce. He created a MySpace page for a fictional Chicago quartet, creating numerous songs on his own for Melanie Glover, who was overseas at the time. Fascinated by the tunes, Glover accompanied the recordings with a tambourine. Larsen found her rhythmic flair and bought her a drum set, and Buildings Breeding was born. Ever since moving from fiction to fact, this Davis, CA quartet has grabbed everyone's attention, including the owner of Mushpot Records, who chose this recording to be her label's first release. Buildings Breeding create dynamic soundscapes that frequently toy with depth and richness. Much like its melodic predecessors, the band controls emotional return with impressive accuracy. It's easy to see why this once-fake act is now a reality-- Buildings Breeding was just too good to remain in the land of make believe!
