After an extremely fruitful two-decade run with Warner Records, Built To Spill returned to the indie realm with 2020’s Daniel Johnston covers album. Today they announce their first album for their fellow Pacific Northwest institution Sub Pop.

When The Wind Forgets Your Name is out in September (yes, this will be a five-month rollout). It’s the first new Built To Spill album since 2015’s Untethered Moon, and it finds BTS mastermind Doug Martsch backed by two members of the Brazilian psychedelic jazz-rock band Oruã, Le Almeida and João Cases. Oruã will open for Built To Spill on tour this year, but onstage Martsch will be joined by his new lineup of Melanie Radford and Teresa Esguerra.

The lead single and opening track from When The Wind Forgets Your Name is out today. “Gonna Lose” is an especially visceral and echo-laden take on a concise Doug Martsch guitar-pop track, one that somehow feels both longer than its two-and-a-half-minute runtime and over way too fast. “I’ve come to realize time’s all wrong,” Martsch sings. “Answers materialize, then they’re gone.”

Below, you can watch director Jordan Minkoff’s “Gonna Lose” video, featuring animation by Minkoff and Lee McClure. You can also find the tracklist, which features consecutive songs called “Never Alright” and “Alright.” Does it also have tracks called “Rock Steady” and “Spiderweb” back to back? No doubt! Finally, you can survey Built To Spill’s massive itinerary of North American live shows, most of which are happening this spring and summer before the album drops.

TRACKLIST:
1 “Gonna Lose”
2 “Fool’s Gold”
3 “Understood”
4 “Elements”
5 “Rock Steady”
6 “Spiderweb”
7 “Never Alright”
8 “Alright”
9 “Comes A Day”
