If you fell in love with Basement Revolver’s signature 90’s-infused indie-rock, you’ll be pleased to discover that the band will be re-releasing their self-titled debut EP for a limited run of vinyl pressings via Label Obscura! The announcement comes with yet another surprise in the form of a video for EP favorite, “Lake Steel Oil.”
A melancholy track delving into the pains of growing older while coming to the realization that everything changes & moves very quickly, singer Chrisy Hurn’s vocals float through a hazy mix of grunge and bittersweet fascination as a young child’s delights turn wistful; a reminder to always live in the moment.
“’Lake, Steel, Oil’ is song that kind of grows and progresses with me moving through life. It starts out with me and my sister as kids watching the northern lights on Manatoulin Island. As a young adult, I moved to Hamilton while my sister moved to Alberta as a newlywed. The song turns to reflect on Hamilton – this city that I have come to love and to call home,” shared Hurn. “It is a reminder that our lives are short, so we shouldn’t waste it. So I guess that those are all things that we tried to show in this video – how as a band we all have our separate lives but we all find a home (in some form or another) in Hamilton. It is what brought us together as a band.”
