Advance Base "Horrible Occurances" is out today!
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, it's a beautiful and deeply human record highlighting everything that's so unique about Ashworth's writing and way with melody.
Horrible Occurrences is concept album set in the fictional town of Richmond, which Ashworth describes as a "place where all the bad memories live" and its early singles "The Year I Lived In Richmond" and "Brian's Golden Hour" have introduced some of the scenes and characters (as well as drawing attention from the likes of Stereogum, The FADER, BrooklynVegan, Paste Magazine, and more). "The Tooth Fairy" arrives alongside a music video created by Nathania Rubin and continues to expand the album's cast. The track offers another melancholy tale that's sure to leave listeners heartbroken yet ready to visit Richmond in full this Friday.
