Since its inception in 1992, Built to Spill founder Doug Martsch intended his beloved band to be a collaborative project, an ever-evolving group of incredible musicians making music and playing live together.‘I wanted to switch the line-up for many reasons.Each time we finish a record I want the next one to sound totally different.It’s fun to play with people who bring in new styles and ideas’, says Martsch.‘And it’s nice to be in a band with people who aren’t sick of me yet’.Following several albums and EPs on Pacific Northwest independent labels, Built to Spill return in 2022 with ‘When the Wind Forgets Your Name’ on Sub Pop Records.‘I’m psyched: I’ve wanted to be on Sub Pop since I was a teenager.And I think I’m the first fifty year-old they’ve ever signed’.(The rumours’ are true, we love quinquagenarians.).
