Basement — Head Alight
Played: 2026-06-04 (Segment 5 — Punk run)
Basement are a British rock band from Ipswich, formed in 2009. After disbanding in 2012 and reforming in 2014, WIRED (released May 8, 2026 via Run For Cover Records, a reunion with their original label) is their first album in over eight years. "Head Alight" sits on the slower, more ethereal end of their catalogue: reverbed guitars, expansive atmosphere, gorgeous vocals. Vocalist Andrew Fisher: "What started out as a love song quickly evolved into something a lot more ethereal. A more universal look at the idea of someone's soul or essence being so powerful and beautiful you can't look away." Middle of segment five — the intensity of Pussy Riot gives way to something more spacious; the track's return after eight years makes it a quiet statement.
