Basement<\/strong> have confirmed the details for their first new album in eight years, \u201cWIRED<\/strong>\u201c. As you might be aware, the British post-hardcore band have experienced a bit of resurgence in the time since the release of their previous outing, 2018\u2019s \u201cBeside Myself<\/strong>\u201c. Their 2012 track \u201cCovet<\/strong>\u201d became their first gold single to go gold in the United States back in November of 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n For this new outing, Basement<\/strong> worked with producer John Congleton<\/strong> (Mannequin Pussy<\/strong>, PUP<\/strong>). Run For Cover<\/strong> will be handling the release of the album on May 08th, while a pair of singles from it, including the title track and \u201cBroken By Design<\/strong>\u201c, are now streaming below. Music videos for both of those cuts have just launched and were directed by Ashley Rommelrath<\/strong> and Tas Wilson<\/strong> respectively.<\/p>\n Basement<\/strong> vocalist Andrew Fisher<\/strong> commented:<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018WIRED<\/strong>\u2018 is about how sometimes it feels that we are set up to feel and behave in certain ways beyond our control. That no matter how hard you try to hide it, eventually it will come out \u2013 either by choice or by force. This song was almost lost \u2013 a few of us were into it, but it sort of lost traction for a bit. Then one day it cropped back up and we put it at the forefront of our minds and it ended up being one of my favourite songs to perform and record.<\/p>\n \u2018Broken By Design<\/strong>\u2018 is about giving something your absolute best and realising it\u2019s destined to fail. Getting to the other side of the situation, looking back and deciding to do everything differently and feeling grateful for the opportunity to grow. We\u2019ve all done a lot of work on getting better at talking to each other as friends and as band mates. Sometimes that\u2019s an easy distinction \u2013 or rather, not a distinction at all.<\/p>\n Other times, the lines are blurred and we lose track of who we are and why we do this. When I\u2019m singing, \u2018let\u2019s go back to the start\u2019 I mean to when we did this purely for fun. For an excuse to see each other, to travel, to be creative, to express ourselves through music. We all feel so lucky to be in a position to still get to do this and this album and this song in particular, is us trying to go back to how it should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cWIRED<\/strong>\u201d track listing:<\/p>\n 01 \u2013 \u201cTime Waster<\/strong>\u201c\n
