Description

Basic - the trio of Chris Forysth (guitar), Mikel Patrick Avery (percussion, drum machine, electronics), and Douglas McCombs (Fender Bass VI) - produced their new 7-track album over two days at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, finishing overdubs and mixing with Jeff Zeigler in Philadelphia. The recordings are groove-driven, but light and loose with songs sounding much bigger than a trio. Ample detail is provided by the interlocking guitars and Avery's unique combination of electronic beats and acoustic percussion that he treats and manipulates live with various self-built electronic processors.
Shortly after the release of their debut (This Is Basic, 2024) bassist McCombs (Tortoise, Brokeback) joined the group, and along with Philly-based core members Forsyth (Solar Motel Band) and Avery, (Natural Information Society), toured the record up and down the West Coast and throughout the Northeast and Midwest US making stops at taste making festivals like Sound & Gravity and Big Ears. The chemistry between the three resulted in the development of new material almost immediately, and the "Dream City" EP was released in the spring of 2025.
