Built Like Alaska is an indie rock band from Oakdale, California, USA. In 2001, the band went on tour with Sparklehorse. Signing with Grandaddy's Sweat of the Alps label, they released their début full-length, Hopalong, in 2003. They attracted the attention of a larger indie label, Future Farmer, who released album number two, Autumnland, and re-released Hopalong, both in 2005. Also in 2005, the band provided the score for Scott Coffey's film Ellie Parker. The band is writing songs for album number three, which will be recorded, as always, at their own Taint of the Earth studios in the Oakdale countryside.
