Black

From colourmeinkindness2012

Written by Andrew Fisher

Produced by Sam Pura

Lyrics

Black

I tell lies. If I didn't you'd be horrified. I'd rather die Than have you find out what I'm trying to hide. I can't escape These walls I made Surrounding me. Underground. Where creatures replace sight with sound. Leave me be. The darkness here is comforting. I can't escape These walls I made Containing me.

From Dork

Basement on Dork

The June 2026 issue of Dork is available now, featuring Bleachers, Towa Bird and Myles Smith

This month's issue is full of self-belief, slow-burn growth, hard-earned honesty and the sort of records that arrive when artists trust their own instincts.

Basement embrace "the wheels falling off" on their new album 'WIRED'

After major label pressure, near-breakups and some long, honest conversations, Ipswich alt-rock favourites Basement are back doing things their way.

Outbreak Fest 2026 has added Joyce Manor, Loathe and more to its Manchester lineup

Lip Critic, Shady Nasty, I Promised The World and Algernon Cadwallader also among new additions.

Basement have released ‘Head Alight’ as the final track ahead of ‘WIRED’

Their fifth album arrives in May via Run For Cover Records.
