BASEMENT have shared a new track and accompanying video for their songΒ Β “Aquasun” today from their upcoming full-length Promise Everything, directed and filmed by guitarist Alex Henery. RedBull shared the new clip alongside an interview with Henery, calling Promise Everything a “loud and urgent album.” The band will embark onΒ headlining European and North America tours beginning in FebruaryΒ (all tour dates below). Β Tickets for all showsΒ are on-sale now at this location.Β Β Promis
After abruptly announcing an indefinite hiatus only weeks after the release of their 2012 breakthrough LPΒ Colourmeinkindness, Basement went on to gain an intensely devoted posthumous following. The record went on to sell overΒ 25,000Β copies worldwide in the absence of live dates or press coverage. In 2014, the band reconnected and found time amongst other obligations to write and record the EPΒ Further Sky. Immediately inspired by the creative chemistry they felt from these sessions,Β BasementΒ were ready to work on something more significant.
Promise EverythingΒ is the bandβs first time back to full-length writing and recording since their hiatus. Sonically, the record breaks progressive new ground for Basement despite the creative process sharing much in common with previous endeavors.
Promise EverythingΒ situates Basement at the forefront of the rock world, pairing aggression with an inherent sense of melody.Β Β Where before on the bandβs previous albumΒ Colourmeinkindness, songs focused more on aggression and lyrical content, Promise Everything takes a more melodic approach and as a resultΒ the songs feel like they are truly part of the same group. Despite years spent apart, it would seem Basementβs musical conversation has always lingered – and as their first true cohesive document,Β Promise EverythingΒ is only the beginning.
