Steven Wilson to release first new Bass Communion album for 12 years

From Loudersound.

Steven Wilson has revealed that he will release the first new Bass Communion album for 12 years in late May. The Itself Of Itself will be released through Fourth Dimension Records sister label Lumberton Trading Company.

Formed in 1988, Bass Communion has always been Wilson’s avenue to explore ambient drone music, electronica and more industrial sounds. Bass Communion have released nine albums thus far.

The Itself Of Itself will feature a Carl Glover-designed deluxe cover and a 24-page booklet of his photographs as well as an obi strip. The initial run is limited to 1000 CD copies.

“I’m also pleased to announce that the entire Bass Communion back catalogue (apart from Ghosts on Magnetic Tape and Loss, those are coming very soon!) is now available on Spotify, Apple Music and all the other major digital/streaming platforms,” adds Wilson. “I’m also doing a short set to launch the new album at Cafe Oto, London on Saturday 18th May as part of a bill of Fourth Dimension artists.”

An exclusive new Bass Communion track also appears on the When Worlds Collide 2LP compilation also due in May. You can see the new artwork and tracklisting below.
