Bask Touring East Coast This Month; New Album Recorded

I was only in Asheville once, a decade ago, but it was an easy town to like in the tradition of weirdo-enclaves and places to get good coffee and buy records. See also Brattleboro, Vermont, as well as Austin, Texas, and any number of other burgs out there nestled into the sometimes-horrifying sphere of American existence. Bask, who have newly finished tracking their third album — title TBA — with the right honourable Matt Bayles, will leave their Asheville hometown behind and head out as they did in June for a week’s worth of dates around a festival appearance. Way back two months ago, it was Doomed and Stoned in Chicago. This time it’s RPM Fest in Massachusetts. Both, solid occasions for spending a few days out in the world. And if you like weirdo enclaves, north and western MA have a few to choose from as well, as it so happens.

Begotten are playing the Brooklyn show on this one, and it’s the night after Orange Goblin in Manhattan, but I’m thinking about hitting it up. If you’re around, come down and we’ll converse awkwardly for a little while and then you’ll get disappointed and move on to another spot in the room.

Wow. Just made myself sad right there without even thinking about it.

Better turn this one over to the PR wire:

BASK have just completed recording 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. Stay tuned for more news!

BASK hails from the mountains of North Carolina and was fully conceived in the fall of 2013 when guitarist Ray Worth, drummer Scott Middleton, bassist Jesse Van Note, and guitarist/vocalist Zeb Camp joined forces.

Since forming in 2013, BASK has released American Hollow (2014) and Ramble Beyond (2017), and toured North America and Europe with seminal artists High on Fire and Weedeater, as well as contemporary figure heads, Pallbearer, Kayo Dot, Royal Thunder, and Black Tusk. The band has also shared the bill with a range of diverse artists, from Guided by Voices to Carcass and Refused on festivals such as Desert Fest Berlin and London, Speedfest in Eindhoven, Netherlands, and Heavy Mountain in Asheville, NC.

Their sound has been described as progressive and cinematic, containing glimpses of Appalachian tonality and heartfelt heaviness. Esse Quam Videri.

Line-up:
Jesse Van Note – bass
Scott Middleton – drums
Ray Worth – guitar
Zeb Camp – guitar/vocals
