""When The Wind Forgets Your Name" is the first new Built to Spill album since the release of 2015's "Untethered Moon" and the eighth studio album by the long-lived band around mastermind Doug Martsch. It was produced by Martsch, mixed by Martsch, Lê Almeida, Joao Casaes and Josh Lewis and mastered by Mell Dettmer. The cover artwork was designed by comic book artist Alex Graham (Dog Biscuits; Fantagraphics Books), who also illustrated the fifty-panel comic strip for the album's gatefold cover (available with the CD, LP and MC editions of the album). Since 1992, Doug Martsch, founder of Built to Spill, wanted his beloved band to be a collaborative project, an ever-evolving group of incredible musicians making music and playing live together. After several albums and EPs on independent labels, Martsch was signed to Warner Brothers from 1995 to 2016. During that time, he and his changing cohorts recorded six undeniably great albums - "Perfect From Now On", "Keep It Like A Secret", "Ancient Melodies Of The Future", "You In Reverse", "There Is No Enemy", "Untethered Moon". "When The Wind Forgets Your Name" now continues to expand the Built to Spill universe in new and exciting ways. In 2018, Martsch's luck and intuition brought him together with Brazilian lo-fi punk artist and producer Le Almeida and his longtime collaborator Joao Casaes, both of the psychedelic jazz-rock band ORUA. When Martsch discovered their music, he immediately fell in love with them and asked them to join Built to Spill when he needed a new backing band for gigs in Brazil. The gigs in Brazil went so well that Martsch, Almeida and Casaes decided to continue playing together in 2019 and tour the US and Europe. At soundchecks, they learned new songs Martsch had written, and when the tour ended, they recorded the bass and drum tracks at his rehearsal space in Boise. After they flew home, Martsch himself began overdubbing guitars and vocals. The collaborative mixing took place over the internet during the pandemic, sending the tracks back and forth. The result is "When The Wind Forgets Your Name", a complex and coherent mixture of the artists' different musical ideas. Alongside the poetic lyrics and themes of Built to Spill, the experimentation and attention to detail make for an album full of unique, vibrant and timeless sounds."
