First pressing: 500 copies worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\nThey have always captured the sound of their era and region, but with their eagerly awaited fourth album, BASK propels Heavy Americana into a whole new dimension.\u003cbr\u003e\nBASK remains rooted in the natural sounds of the Appalachians, which shine through in their heavier tracks, but 'The Turning' doesn't forget its country origins. Although he has been part of the band's entourage for a long time, Jed Willis is now an official member. The best proof of this is the first single \"Dig My Heels\", where the musician's pedal steel works wonders. 'The Turning' doesn't just cross genres; it crosses generations in humanity's eternal quest for immortality.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe album's heroine, simply named The Rider, sees her alien world turned upside down by The Traveller, a mysterious ageless gunslinger, arriving armed with a double-barreled riff over galloping drums. Labyrinthine twists appear at every turn as these cursed outlaws try to outrun the changing seasons.\u003cbr\u003e\nBut though they come from elsewhere, reflections on family, aging, death, and rebirth touch them closely. The band finished recording ‘The Turning’ just weeks before Hurricane Helene struck their hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. Thus, \"Long Lost Light\" evokes a ghost town haunted by a saloon piano and a solitary violin, until it is swept away like sawdust into the void. \"I danced through age and fire,\" sings vocalist-guitarist Zeb Wright, accompanied by everything BASK represents: a rugged bass, tumultuous drums, blazing leads, and bursts of pedal steel.\u003cbr\u003e\nOn 'The Turning', BASK faces the storm with a powerful ode to their native mountain, in the sky.\u003cbr\u003e\nFor fans of ELDER, CLOAKROOM, PALLBEARER, MY MORNING JACKET.\u003cbr\u003e\nArtwork by Mitch Meseke.\u003cbr\u003e\nTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide A:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChasm\u003cbr\u003eIn the Heat of the Dying Sun\u003cbr\u003eThe Traveler\u003cbr\u003eThe Cloth\u003cbr\u003eDig My Heels\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide B:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnwound\u003cbr\u003eLong Lost Light\u003cbr\u003eThe Turning","brand":"Bäsk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56383672779096,"sku":null,"price":20250822.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0822603015430.jpg?v=1765624830","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/bask_the-turning_2025_som","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
