| When we first awarded The Basement the SOTF
accolade three years back, they seemed
destined
to become the Derry wing of the psychedelic
Scouse movement alongside The Zutons
and
labelmates The Coral. Biding their
time has
worked wonders though, for just as
that whole
thing has petered out, The Basement
come
back sounding truly out on their own.
'I
Just Caught A Face' still buzzes with
the
ramshackle charm of their early singles,
threatening to fall apart at any moment,
but somehow keeping it all together
to remind
you of Dylan at his freewheelin’ best. |
