Swirling Gritty Shoegaze Goodness from Basement Revolver - “Dissolve”.

Hamilton indie/shoegaze group Basement Revolver give a glimpse of Embody, their forthcoming sophomore LP released on February 18th. Having already garnered attention with previous releases, ‘Dissolve’ continues to push the boundaries and invites us to fall into a chasm of powerful performances and distorted soundscapes. With this release the band add interesting sounds and textures to the often formulaic shoegaze/noise sound and retain their individuality as a band. With tour plans on hold through 2020, Basement Revolver found time to wrestle with questions about identity, faith, mental illness, and sexuality. Embody is explicit about these new ideas and new thoughts, addressing them with a deeper sound and crisper production to adroitly express the complexity of the world. It is an album of friendship, of working out identity together, and making deeply personal art.
