British alternative rock mainstays Basement have shared another new track off their anticipated new album ‘Wired’. ‘The Way I Feel’, leans into producer John Congleton’s lively, unpolished production style and features an anthemic chorus – sonically transporting you to a joyous, sweaty venue floor. ‘Wired’ out May 8th, marks Basement’s first new album in eight years as well as a reunion with their original label Run For Cover Records.
About the song, vocalist Andrew Fisher says: “‘The Way I Feel’ is about standing on the edge of a really important decision, right before you make it. 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.”
Across 12 tracks of ‘Wired’, fans will hear a return to the unbridled passion and creative intuition that’s always animated their best material. The band previously shared ‘Wired’ and ‘Broken By Design’ and Consequence noted: “Basement’s two glimpses of what to expect on ‘Wired’ have been released: the title track and ‘Broken By Design’. On the former, a towering hook and urgent guitars channel the energy that Basement have made an epic career out of. The latter finds Basement leaping in the opposite direction for a moodier, more gentle tune. Equally as captivating, but for different reasons.”
