"When The Wind Forgets Your Name" is the first new Built to Spill album since 2015's "Untethered Moon" and the eighth studio album by the long-running band led by 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 created by comic book artist Alex Graham (Dog Biscuits; Fantagraphics Books), who also illustrated the fifty-panel comic strip for the album's gatefold sleeve (available with the CD, LP, and MC editions of the album). Since 1992, Built to Spill founder Doug Martsch wanted his beloved band to be a collaborative project, an ever-evolving group of incredible musicians making music and playing live together. After releasing several albums and EPs on independent labels, Martsch was signed to Warner Brothers from 1995 to 2016. During this time, he and his rotating collaborators 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," and "Untethered Moon." "When The Wind Forgets Your Name" continues the expansion of 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 and asked them to join Built to Spill when he needed a new backing band for performances in Brazil.
