    With a sense of perfection that may be tumultuous, Promise Everything is as real a record as you'll find. Swooning in some places and stormy in others, Basement have never sounded this good.

    With Promise Everything, Basement have returned stronger than ever, and have taken great care to capitalize on the most effective aspects of their previous sounds to make a dynamic and cohesive whole here.

    Lush, cathartic and surprisingly brief, Promise Everything is the record that makes good on everything Further Sky promised.

    Across its 10 tracks, Promise everything is immediate, yet charged with subtleties that offer an increasing number of things to fall in love with each passing listen. [30 Jan 2016, p.52]

    Ultimately, with Promise Everything, Basement return from the brink of oblivion and deliver an album that more than lives up to its title.

    A record that feels cathartic but never ruthless, freeing but still subtle.

    Though it doesn’t add much new to the established Basement canon, Promise Everything is tight, fresh and exhilarating.

    Their future is full of possibilities; thankfully they didn’t go before their time after all, as Promise Everything is their best work yet.

    This album, dude. Its the purest definition of "middle of the road" i ever heard. Its so insanely average, i am impressed how much you can hitThis album, dude. Its the purest definition of "middle of the road" i ever heard. Its so insanely average, i am impressed how much you can hit that little spot between really good and bad :D Compared to Basements previous efforts, this album has no big hit except maybe "Hanging Around". Everything just sounds uninspired and bland, still not bad. Nice background music while doing something else. Full Review »
