UK post-hardcore greats Basement are releasing their first album in eight years, Wired, on May 8 (pre-order our exclusive vinyl variant), and after sharing two singles with the announcement, they’ve given us another early taste of the album with “The Way I Feel.” Watch the video, directed by Kaylinn Duffy, below.
“‘The Way I Feel’ is about standing on the edge of a really important decision, right before you make it,” vocalist Andrew Fisher says. “Constantly questioning whether you have the courage to stand up for yourself and fight your side, while at the same time begging for forgiveness and acknowledgement. My tongue is in my cheek quite a lot in this song – you need to decide when I’m saying what I mean or not. I love the simplicity of this song and I love that the intro is the same audio sample that Al made on his loop pedal. I knew from the first time he sent that audio file that this would be a song.”
Basement have a European tour lined up for the summer, and they stay North American shows will be announced “soon.” Stay tuned, and pick up our exclusive “Green in Green” vinyl variant of Wired in the BV shop.
