Bask Recording New Album with Matt Bayles; Announce June Touring

bask

It was just the other day I was talking about an absolute generational landmark album Matt Bayles happened to produce — that being Leviathan, by Mastodon — and here comes word that he’s been brought aboard by North Carolinian four-piece Bask in order to helm the follow-up to 2017’s Ramble Beyond, which will also serve as the band’s debut on Season of Mist. Not saying Bask‘s next record needs to be a generational landmark or anything — no pressure, dudes — but it’s funny sometimes how these things tie together.

Presumably, and hopefully in terms of costs, by the time Bask start their touring in June at the Doomed and Stoned fest in Chicago, they’ll have the album in the can. As such, they should be itching to get back on stage, which of course only bodes well for those in their path. Barring any serious delay, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to expect the album before the end of the year, but of course one never knows when it comes to schedules and pressing and this and that. Worth keeping an eye out, in any case.

Word from the PR wire:

BASK Enter Studio with Legendary Producer Matt Bayles, Announce U.S. Tour Dates

Southern rock outfit BASK have entered the studio today to record their third studio album with legendary producer Matt Bayles (PEARL JAM, MASTODON, MINUS THE BEAR, etc.) The record will be released by Season of Mist, making it the band’s debut to the label.

Speaking about the upcoming effort and working with Bayles, the band comments: “We are beyond excited to announce that we’ve begun work on our third record, and label debut, for Season of Mist Records at Echo Mountain Studios. We hope working in a studio that’s played host to an amazing eclectic roster, such as Band of Horses, Widespread Panic and War on Drugs, and the skill of veteran producer/engineer Matt Bayles, who’s credits include seminal works from Mastodon, Isis and Russian Circles, will capture the spirit and shape of our latest batch of songs. We can’t wait to share them with you.”

Additionally, the band will be embarking on a headlining Southern U.S. tour this summer. BASK will first appear at Doomed and Stoned fest in Chicago on June 1 and then will kick off their official tour on June 9 in Atlanta, GA and will wrap up on June 15 in Greenville, SC. The full itinerary is as follows:

BASK Tour Dates:
06/01: Chicago, IL @ Doom & Stoned Festival
06/09: Atlanta, GA @ 529
06/10: Orlando, FL @ Standard Motorcycle

06/12: Savannah, GA @ The Jinx
06/13: Charlotte, NC @ The Milestone
