{"product_id":"basic-840526506491","title":"Basic","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 \u0026amp; 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.","brand":"No Quarter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50527622037587,"sku":"2809264X","price":28.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4508323.jpg?v=1791976735","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/basic-840526506491","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
