Given that Doug Martsch is blessed with one of the most distinctive voices in rock, it's not surprising to find the Built to Spill frontman in a familiar place on his solo debut. But this is more than just an acoustic spin on his Boise, Idaho, band's off-kilter psychedelic noise. Now You Know is sweet and jangly, a homespun blues record made in the late hours of the night on battered guitars, in the same loose and grainy tradition as Beck's One Foot in the Grave and Paul Westerberg's Stereo. It's endearingly rustic--from the jagged and jaunty "Gone" to the winding Neil Young tribute "Impossible"--and yet another reason to count Martsch as one of middle America's most valuable natural resources. --Aidin Vaziri
