About this product
After years apart, BASEMENT have relinked for a new album that is bursting with renewed purpose. WIRED is the UK-based band's fifth full-length album and first on Run For Cover Records in ten years. But it's more than that - it's the feeling of electricity that surges through these twelve songs like a current, and a statement on how interconnected these five individuals were while creating their most complete album to date. Since joining together with the modest goal playing shows around their hometown of Ipswich, Basement's consistent core - vocalist Andrew Fisher, bass player Duncan Stewart, drummer James Fisher, and guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix - have had an enduring connection that's grown over nearly twenty years. WIRED signals a return to what drove the band in those earliest days creative freedom & connection. Songs like title track InchWired,Inch opener InchTime WasterInch and the fiery InchPick Up the PiecesInch are as intense as they are intimate, pushing against the boundaries of anything the band's done before. There are softer moments, too - the infectious melodies ofInchBroken By DesignInch and InchHead AlightInch feel as emotionally resonant as any song the band's ever done. Together, these twelve songs radiate like the iridescent cat captured on the album's cover - flashes of pure energy, captured in the perfect moment to light up fiercely against the night. Navigated by producer John Congleton (Shame, Mannequin Pussy), WIRED channels the all of the catharsis of previous Basement records with a renewed focus on distortion, imperfection, and strangeness. There is clear inspiration from alt-rock pioneers like Radiohead and Sonic Youth across these songs, but what pulses through every moment of WIRED is a dedication to experimentation - a risky gambit on the creative force of these five individuals that rewards on every listen.

Vinyl LP pressing. Off with Their Heads are back with their new album, Be Good. The band has been relatively quiet over the last two years, largely because frontman Ryan Young was tending to an ill family member who ultimately passed away last year. But through mourning came inspiration. InchShe was a photographer, and at the wake were all these photos she took,Inch he remembers. One of those photos struck him immediately. It shows a Mennonite family enjoying a sunny day at the beach while an ominous cooling tower looms in the background. InchI said That's gonna be the cover of the album that doesn't exist yet.Inch That photo captures the spirit of Be Good. While all of Off with Their Heads' previous work shares a common thread of being rooted in Young's fatalistic view of the world, Be Good at least allows a tiny glimmer of hope to peek through. Young and the band members-bassist Robbie Smartwood, guitarist\ John Polydoros, and new drummer Kyle Manning-holed up for two and a half weeks at Pachyderm Studios, a mid-century mansion in Minnesota where Nirvana recorded In Utero, to make Be Good. Young co-produced the record along with Dan Jensen, and it was the first time he enjoyed the process, or at least tolerated it. Be Good will be released by Epitaph Records on August 16 and, if ever there was a time for Ryan Young's distinct brand on cautious optimism, it's now. Young says, InchBe good, be loud-that's sometimes all you can do.Inch
