After revealing “Broken By Design,” “WIRED,” and “The Way I Feel,” Basement dropped “Head Alight” with an accompanying music video. All single releases are set to appear on their upcoming album WIRED, due out May 8, via Run For Cover Records.
Vocalist Andrew Fisher shares, “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. ”
He continues, “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.”
