Built to Spill - "Gonna Lose"


When you first hear that the new Built to Spill album is going to be called When the Wind Forgets Your Name, it's safe to assume it's going to be filled with ten minute Doug Martsch epics and the longest guitar solos that have ever existed. Judging by the first single, you're not entirely right. "Gonna Lose" is just over two and a half minutes, which is reminiscent of earlier Built to Spill songs. It even has a fairly upbeat, almost poppy vibe. But it's still an oddly psychedelic guitar based song and feels like one of their monster epics just condensed to a quarter of its normal size. If anything, it seems to be combining early 90's Built to Spill with their more recent sound. If an all new line up wasn't intriguing enough, "Gonna Lose" is going to amp up your anticipation.

You can listen to "Gonna Lose" below. When the Wind Forgets Your Name is due out September 9 on Sub Pop Records, and can be pre-ordered here. For more on Built to Spill, check out the band's website. Roughly a million tour dates are below the song.
