Advance Base Shares New Single "Brian's Golden Hour"
New Album "Horrible Occurrences" Out 12/06
Advance Base recently announced his upcoming album, Horrible Occurrences, and today Owen Ashworth's beloved and long-running project is back with the record's second single, "Brian's Golden Hour."
Due out December 6th via Run For Cover Records, Horrible Occurrences marks the first full-length of Advance Base originals since 2018's Animal Companionship, and it's well worth the wait. Full of richly detailed sounds and lyrics, Horrible Occurrences is a beautiful and deeply human record that tap into everything that’s so unique about Ashworth's writing and way with melody.
Horrible Occurrences is a concept album set in the fictional town of Richmond, which Ashworth describes as a "place where all the bad memories live." Early single "The Year I Lived In Richmond" set the scene (and drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more) and now "Brian's Golden Hour" introduces another new character through a beautifully arranged cut of atmospheric synths and a steady drum machine pulse.
