Basement have built a growing and global cult fanbase, notably with the bands critically acclaimed 2016 album Promise Everything. The Line of Best Fits review of the album concluded, With a sense of perfection that may be tumultuous, Promise Everything is as real a record as youll find. Swooning in some places and stormy in others, Basement have never sounded this good.

First on the horizon will be the release of a Deluxe Edition of Promise Everything. The albums original ten tracks have been re-mastered with a re-recorded version of the title track, a remix of Aquasun, and also boasts four bonus tracks: their interpretation of The Cardigans My Favourite Game, acoustic versions of Aquasun and Blinded Bye, and the acoustic track Cloud which originally appeared on a limited edition 7 single of the song Promise Everything.

Vocalist Andrew Fisher explains, When we recorded the album Promise Everything we didnt have the luxury of time. The concept of sitting on songs and making sure we were happy with their arrangement was alien to us. With the re-release of the record we felt it was the perfect opportunity to go back to the song we thought was the strongest and make it as good as we could.
