With High Tide Era, The Basement Party offer a record with the strong emotions and fine-toothed comb approach throughout. The lush synths and buoyant basslines invite you in, but it’s the interplay between sound and emotion that lingers – an interesting showcasing about what the genre can be when it balances subtlety with immediacy.
The band’s roots in crafting cinematic textures blend seamlessly with their love for energetic rhythms, creating a sound that feels both familiar and super fresh. Their live shows reflect this duality, and the album captures that beautiful tension and release arc flow they bring to the stage.
Positive reception and playlist placements hint at a promising future – for The Basement Party, this is just the crest of a wave.
