BASIC is a trio featuring Chris Forsyth on guitar, Doug McCombs on bass and guitar, and Mikel Patrick Avery on drums and triggered samples. They came to Milwaukee back in December with a concert that featured songs from their first album as well as an at-the-time unreleased EP.
Chris donated the recording of one of these tracks to a benefit album for musicians who lost their homes in the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, and also asked me to hold off on posting this recording until their EP was released. Now that the EP is out and their recent tour is complete, Chris has given the go ahead to post -- and everyone can now hear what I have been enjoying at home for the past four months.
