Introducing the Basic Singles Club!

upside downComing in August 2010. Reverb Records will be releasing a monthly digital-only 7” single from the Belfast based artist Basic with both an A and B side for your wonderful consumption. These will initially be available exclusively through Apple’s iTunes at the first of every month. The singles are a sort of a clearout and update straight from the Basic archives, with some magic new material sprinkled about for good measure. Keep an eye out for some special appearances from some featured vocalists. You will likely be surprised at who shows up.

The August 2010 track listing will be as follows:

A Side: Jill's Veranda
B Side: Teddy Ices
