For a while now, we’ve been hearing rumbilngs about a new album from Show Me The Body, the difficult-to-describe New York hardcore-ish band. They’ve done a lot of touring and put out a good amount of music in recent years, but they haven’t released a proper album since Trouble The Water in 2022. Lately, they’ve…

I really want to write a book about fusion. Not just as a specific musical genre, but as an ethos. Because the music of the six-year span from 1969 to 1975, which I often feel was the best era for music, period, was almost entirely defined by the values of fusion: technological advances and advances in instrumental technique; the blurring of lines between jazz, rock, funk, soul, Latin music, African music, and more; and a kind of spiritual openness that manifested in lyrical and musical concepts. From Miles Davis to all his ex-bandmates’ bands (Mwandishi, the Headhunters, Return To Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report) to Alice Coltrane to Pharoah Sanders to Santana to Earth, Wind & Fire to Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colón and the Fania All-Stars, and many more, it was all one thing.

Basement have released another song from their upcoming album ‘WIRED’, and it showcases the band’s talent for penning insatiable hooks.
Following on from the release of the album’s title track, as well as singles ‘Broken By Design’ and ‘The Way I Feel’, ‘Head Alight’ is another instant classic that comes jam-packed with hooks.
On the band’s latest track, vocalist Andrew Fisher has said:
“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.” Fisher continues, “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.”
Check out the song’s official music video, directed by Kaylinn Duffy, below:
‘WIRED’ is set for release on May 08 via Run For Cover Records.
It will also feature the delightfully fuzzy ‘The Way I Feel’:

Yesterday, eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck unveiled the stunning new surprise single, “Ride Lonesome.”
Today, Beck follows that hypnotically sublime ballad with the announcement of the Ride Lonesome Tour, a 25-date trek stopping at some of North America’s most renowned theaters and amphitheaters.
The Ride Lonesome Tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off September 16th at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre, with stops including the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Greek in L.A., Red Rocks, two nights each at The Masonic in SF, Massey Hall in Toronto and the Brooklyn Paramount, and more, before concluding October 31st at The Truth in Nashville.
Tickets for Beck’s Ride Lonesome Tour go on sale Friday, April 24th at 10am local time. For further information, go to Beck.com.
Produced by Beck and Mixed by Nigel Godrich, the song “Ride Lonesome” evokes the beautiful and haunting sonic landscapes and textures of 2015 Album of the Year GRAMMY winner Morning Phase and its spiritual predecessor, 2002’s classic Sea Change—and features multiple musicians who played on those milestone releases. From the resonant acoustic guitar strains of its opening to the emotional peaks of its final chorus, this long-awaited new original composition is the first indication of a different yet familiar direction for Beck in the year ahead.
Citi is the official card of the Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 21st at 11am local time until Thursday, April 23rd at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program.
