Basement Announce New EP Further Sky
Out 7/29/14 via Run For Cover Records
New Track “Summer’s Colour” & Interview at Noisey
Sold-Out Summer World Tour
Pre-Order for Further Sky Now Available
Noisey is currently streaming a new song, “Summer’s Colour”, from Further Sky alongside an interview with Basement guitarist Alex Henery which details the new EP.
Further Sky breaks Basement’s musical silence following their final acclaimed 2012 full-length Colourmeinkindess. Boasting two new songs and a cover of Suede’s “Animal Nitrate”, the EP updates the band’s alternative rock explorations with a decidedly British flavour. Recorded spring 2014 at North London’s Livingston Studio (The Clash, Bjork, Jesus and Mary Chain), new tracks “Summer’s Colour” and “Jet” build upon past work adding more complex interwoven melodies touched with the subtle psychedelic tendencies of Swervedriver and Failure. “Animal Nitrate” provides the perfect cousin to Basement’s originals, operating in the same melodic headspace with lively instrumentals and a shimmering chorus.
The sold-out world tour will have support from Ovlov as well as Run For Cover labelmates Pity Sex, Superheaven, Cloakroom and Creative Adult and marks will be Basement’s first live appearances since 2012. All tour dates are below.
Further Sky is currently available for pre-order via Run For Cover Records.
