A trio with musical influences that extend far beyond their hometown of Nashville, BASECAMP came to fruition when the three producers joined forces to write. Quickly realizing there was a strong chemistry between them, the idea of BASECAMP immediatel y took hold. Deconstruc ting typical genre boundaries by utilizing haunting melodies, intensifie d by thumping bass lines and heavily percussive drums, BASECAMP effortless ly layer unpredicta ble tempo changes with elements of subtle glitch and organic strings.
Releasing their standout self-title d debut EP in late 2013, tracks like ‘Emmanuel’ and ‘Smoke Filled Lungs' instantly stole the attention of audiences and fellow artists alike, through the EP’s sophistica ted combinatio n of seductive vocals and irresistib le R&B timbre. After touring across America with Chvrches, and Phantogram , the band signed to Skrillex’s boutique record label, OWSLA to release their anticipate d follow-up, ‘Greater Than’, in the summer of 2015. Featuring the introspect ive single ‘Watch My Back’, the result saw an impactful record full of dark, brooding tones, heartfelt melodies, and body shuddering bass.
Now, after releasing stand-alon e singles ‘Comfort Zone’ and ‘In My Veins’ (collabora tions with Jamie Lidell, Del The Funky Homosapien ) the stage has yet again been set for the return of BASECAMP - this time in the form of their forthcomin g six song ‘In Stone’ EP.
Their most complete body of work to date, ‘In Stone’, takes listeners on an audible journey through drastic genre, and tempo changes as the music progresses . All the while so, there is an underlying sense of cohesion that is unlike anything the trio has delivered.
Universall y relatable with burning lyrics and a fully realized musiciansh ip that can't be faltered, this promises to be yet another exciting new chapter in the ever growing BASECAMP narrative.
More introspect ive than the last EP, the result is a record full of dark, brooding tones, heartfelt melodies and body shuddering bass echoed with sweeping cellos and inflection s of ghostly guitars that expertly mirror the real-life experience s of their creators. Universall y relatable with burning lyrics and a fully realized musiciansh ip that can't be faltered, this promises to be an exciting new chapter of the eclectic BASECAMP narrative.
