August 12 street date. 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL. Keep It Like A Secret is the fourth full-length album released by Indie Rock band Built To Spill, originally released in 1999. With their first major label release Perfect From Now On in 1997, Built to To Spill became one of the United States’ most recognizable Indie Rock bands. With Keep It Like A Secret, Built To Spill not only continued critical success, but also for the first time, significant commercial success. During the recordings of Keep It Like A Secret, the band embraced the sounds of a big studio and focused their sound without sacrificing their fractured Indie Rock aesthetic. In a certain way, this is Built To Spill’s Pop album: every song is direct and clean, without the long, cerebral jamming that characterized their earlier albums. The songwriting may be streamlined, but Doug Martsch now packs all of his twists, turns, and detours into dense, three-minute blasts. The album spawned two EPs: 'Carry the Zero' and 'Center of the Universe'. Pitchfork ranked the album at #41 on their 'Top Albums of the 90s list.'
September 9 street date. Since the band's inception in 1992, Built To Spill founder Doug Martsch intended his beloved band to be a collaborative project, an ever-evolving group of musicians making music and playing live together. Following several albums and EPs on Pacific Northwest independent labels, Martsch signed with Warner Brothers from 1995 to 2016. He and his rotating cast of cohorts recorded six more great studio albums during that time, along with a live album, and a solo record, "Now You Know". While the band's impeccable recorded catalog is the entry point, Built To Spill live is an essential force of its own: heavy, psychedelic, melodic, and visceral tunes blaring from amps that sound as if they're powered by Mack trucks. Now in 2022, Built To Spill returns with "When The Wind Forgets Your Name", Martsch's unbelievably great new album (and his eighth full-length)... with a fresh new label. Alongside Built To Spill's poetic lyrics and themes, the experimentation and attention to detail produces an album full of unique, vivid, and timeless sounds, from guitar-driven rock odes to R.E.M. and Dinosaur Jr to bluesy 60s-style anthems to dub-reggae-inspired instrumentation.
