When the Wind Forgets Your Name

Built to Spill

Sun-drenched psychedelic rock with a philosophical streak. Intricate guitar layers meet a tight, rhythmic backbone for a record that feels both heavy and weightless.

Find on Amazon

It's the classic Built to Spill guitar magic but with a cool Brazilian psych-rock twist.

A thoughtful and sun-drenched exploration of mortality and time through the lens of melodic psychedelia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The unexpected shift into a steady reggae-inflected groove on Rocksteady that feels both jarring and perfectly natural.
The massive, eight-minute slow-burn of Comes a Day where the guitars eventually dissolve into a swirling, psychedelic haze.
That specific moment in Gonna Lose where the fuzzed-out guitar hook first locks in with the driving, rhythmic bassline.
