Yeah, I dig it. Can't believe the release is still four months out.

looooool, the typo in this thread title! it's a good one
i am liking this new album, and i didn't expect to. it has a warmth to it.
the cover, i mean, hey, sometimes there's a deadline and it sneaks up on you
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 11 September 2022 15:41 (one year ago) link
Cover is awful but I heard the single on the kexp live thing and could imagine it being a Keep it b-side
― calstars, Sunday, 11 September 2022 17:14 (one year ago) link
Has this band ever had a good album cover? Or even a halfway decent one, for that matter? I'm starting to think it's intentional, the in-joke schtick of a band not known for schticks
― Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 11 September 2022 17:18 (one year ago) link
The collage of Keep It is cool

it wouldn't win awards but I quite like 'there is no enemy'.

More props to Caustic Resin, who travel back and forth just as often, but mainly to indifferent audiences opening for other bands. They got heckled when they opened for the Frogs at Graceland last year. It was really awkward.โ donut bitch (donut), Thursday, April 8, 2004

Medicine is great; so is Fly Me To The Moon. Iโve tried BTSCR but think it didnโt grab me, maybe I should listen again.

it's kind of amazing that brett netson got replaced with brett nelson

Yeah itโs like an indie rock Spinal Tap joke.

i will check this out but i mostly wanted to share the chuckle over the cover art. ๐ indeed
also i really liked that one song on you in reverse where i could sing along "go and get your mom! go and get your mom!" even though i knew it was wrong.
they're a goid band to make fun of.

i realize that it is pandering to me, but caustic resin's cover of 'hold your head up' is incredible
― mookieproof, Sunday, 11 September 2022 23:27 (one year ago) link
the people on the album haven't been in the band since 2019, Doug went back to the "new band members every time" thing.

Have yet to check Built to Spill Caustic Resin
When Not Being Stupid is Not Enough is my favorite Bulit to Spill song

I actually kinda like the cover of this one! It's weird and stupid, but it's got a good color palette IMO. It's not a million miles away from like, a Lightning Bolt album cover

From Steven Hyden, via Indie Mixtape newsletter:
Before I write anything else about Doug Martsch, I want to state for the record that, yes, he is aware of the meme conflating his band, the long-running indie-rock institution Built To Spill, with the mega-successful K-pop group BTS. And โ like so many other middle-aged guys who like indie rock โ he also enjoys making his own Built To Spill/BTS jokes. โEven I get fooled,โ he says during a recent Zoom call. โIโm looking at my Apple newsfeed and see something about us, and then, aw! Always disappointed.โ While the 52-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist might experience the occasional letdown over, say, not having his own McDonaldโs meal, he does feel satisfaction regarding Built To Spill enduring as one of the great legacy indie bands of the โ90s. As their peers have navigated various break-ups, reunions, and other miscellaneous peaks and valleys, Built To Spill have chugged steadily along, putting out consistently strong albums and touring regularly. Ahead of the new BTS album, When The Wind Forgets Your Name, I asked Martsch to look back at the other Built To Spill records to chart his path to the latest LP. Read our conversation here.

That's a tough one to follow, but here Hyden and Ian Cohen review new Built To Spill and Afghan Whigs:https://linktr.ee/indiecast?eml=2022September12/5819002/6424941&etsubid=33248291

i was really hyped when they put out "gonna lose" but nothing else on the new album really jumped out at me unfortunately. that song rips though

can somebody please prevent hyden from writing anything else, thanks

Was finally able to play this and really enjoyed it, it seemed short and that worked for me. I will be playing again and the song that stood out to me was "Understood."
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 27 September 2022 00:06 (one year ago) link
Has anyone seen them recently? They're playing here and thinking about going on Thursday night but have stuff going on, I did see them in the late 90s in San Francisco and they blew out my ears.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 15 November 2023 04:48 (four months ago) link
it's a completely different lineup now, just him and two other people, but I've heard they are great
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Wednesday, 15 November 2023 15:02 (four months ago) link
I had a blast seeing them earlier this year. The band he has now is super tight and fun to watch.
