Bastette announce new EP ‘Bastette Exposed’
BASTETTE have announced a new EP!
Titled Bastette Exposed, the upcoming EP from the Lancashire-based rock band is their sophomore effort and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via RPM Records.
The upcoming EP was recorded at the Lounge Recording Studio in Wigan with producer Gareth Nuttall [FRANK TURNER]. Each track on the EP intends to be laid to bare with exploration of betrayal, love, sex, control, manipulation, and passion all moulded into one.
“I’ve always been drawn to fantasy but the problem with fantasy is that you have to fall back into reality at some point and the longer you wait the longer and harder the fall,” explains singer/songwriter Caroline Kenyon about the upcoming EP. “I have partially lived my life through fantasy so is it real or is it not, and with this new music I’ve taken the time to explore the sometimes thin line between reality and fantasy. The new EP is influenced by real-life events that have been brought to life through song, with each track portraying significant moments in time that can haunt the human psyche throughout our lifetimes.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming release; Talk About It.
Speaking about the new song, Kenyon says, “Talk About It lyrically takes a literal approach. We are always told ‘communication is key’, but from my experience, it doesn’t change an already broken relationship. You can go round in circles repeating the same conversations, but never coming to a conclusion. Whilst the track highlights this ineffective and repetitive cycle it also shows that definitive moment for me when I realised enough was enough. That ‘light bulb’ moment was empowering for me, when I was finally able to see the situation for what it was, the person for who they were. When you see things clearly and let go of the negative you are able to create momentum and move forward. It can be seriously motivating.”
