UK band Basement will be going on hiatus after their current US tour, which started with a stop at Sound & Fury Fest. The band recently completed work on their sophomore record for Run for Cover Records, Colourmeinkindness, which will see release this fall. The band offered the following statement, edited by SPB for length.
Due to a number of personal commitments, this record and these shows will be the last thing we do as a band for a very long time. Basement has never been about achieving anything; it was simply an enjoyable outlet for creativity and emotion. That being said, we are incredibly grateful for the support we have received over the last two years...We all have things going on outside of the band that require a lot of time and attention and now more than ever these things have to come first.
