Basement's first album in eight years, Wired, is out today via Run for Cover, and to celebrate guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix each made lists for us.

The votes are in! Thanks to the marvels of big brother surveillance tech we know you love to listen to ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET. To celebrate we made a video for it. Our friend Cissi Efraimsson has crafted our likeness in clay much as ancient civilizations made of THEIR gods and filmed them in a fever dream of a story.
Spotify and Apple Music are two of the leading music streaming services, popular for their vast music libraries. Beyond the music, however, Apple Music offers subscribers access to the company's live studio performances, radio interviews, and music videos, while Spotify's additional subscription perks lean heavily into audiobooks and podcasts. Unlike Apple's hardware devices, Apple Music doesn't block many features to Android users, unless their device doesn't support Dolby Atmos. Otherwise, Android users can experience a robust Apple Music experience.

While touring City Of Clowns, I stumbled on a crazy video using Fun Times audio on an Instagram story, right before our São Paulo show. Next thing I knew, someone backstage was asking me what I thought of it, saying that the guy who did it was his friend. My reply to this was: let's make it the official video on YouTube! Many thanks to Muriel Burial for this work of art, it encapsulates so well the spirit behind Fun Times.
