The new BASIC EP “Dream City” is a minimalist fusion of taut, experimentally-minded funk: think Bo Diddley with a chorus pedal, Yo La Tengo on a Congotronics bender, or The Pop Group gone chill. The trio of Chris Forysth (guitar), Mikel Patrick Avery (percussion, drum machine, electronics), and Douglas McCombs (Fender Bass VI), BASIC produced this three-track, 25-minute release over a two-day recording session in December, concluding an eventful 2024 for the group. The recordings were done fast and live, the three members cutting them together in a room at Philly’s Kawari Sound with minimal overdubs. And although just a trio these tunes sound like more than that. Ample detail is provided by the interlocking guitars and Avery’s unique combination of electronic beats and acoustic percussion that he treats and manipulates live with various self-built electronic processors
