British post-hardcore outfit Basement have put out another advance single from their approaching fifth studio album “WIRED“. The gold-certified outfit are primed to release that follow-up to 2018’s “Beside Myself” on May 08th. “Head Alight” is the fourth song to be shared in the lead-up to that album, and landed online today, April 21st, with the below video directed by Kaylinn Duffy.
Vocalist Andrew Fisher provided the following look behind the curtain at the song itself:
“What started out as a love song quickly evolved into something a lot more ethereal. Alex was picking up on what I was saying in a far broader and otherworldly way. He saw it less in a romantic way – a more universal look at the idea of someone’s soul or essence being so powerful and beautiful you can’t look away.
This really excited me because it allowed me to get out of my head and focus on something way more abstract and therefore, hopefully more expansive.
I hadn’t really approached songwriting like this before and I found it really fulfilling. We were really stuck with this sound – focusing on the guitar leading it, in a very indie rock early 2000s thing. It just never felt right. The more we added, the less I liked it. John stripped everything back and it became so much more powerful.”
