Basement have been gearing up to release their new album, Beside Myself, and have released two singles so far — “Disconnect” and “Stigmata.” Now, a little over a week and a half out from release, Basement have released a third single called “Be Here Now.”
The new track can be found at the top for the post, and shows that Basement is able to dip their toes into any water and make it work. “Be Here Now” shows the band at their most melodically driven, and lyrically has them begging to live in the moment.
“’Be Here Now’ is about how hard I find it to feel content with what I’m doing, when I’m doing it,” Basement vocalist Andrew Fisher says of the new track. “I over-romanticize the past and the future, remembering what has been and looking forward to what will be, in a completely irrational and unfair way. I struggle to enjoy what I’m currently doing because I’m comparing it to a time in my past when I was ‘truly’ happy, or thinking about being somewhere else in the future when I believe I will be way happier than now.”
Beside Myself will be released on October 12th via Fueled by Ramen Records and can be pre-ordered here. To support the release, Basement will embark on a short run of U.S. shows in October, followed by another short UK run in November. Elder Brother and Pllush will be joining Basement on their U.S. run, while Joyce Manor will be support for the UK shows.
