It's April 22nd. Welcome in. This is Music News Today, where music meets AI. Ankori with the story. Baseman just dropped their latest single, Headalite, as a teaser for their new album Wired, their first full length in eight years. This track marks the fourth preview, coming after broken by design, the way I feel, and the title track Wired itself. Vocalist Andrew Fisher calls it ethereal, with killer hooks. It started as a love song, but evolved into something bigger, capturing that magnetic pull of someone's true essence that you just can't ignore. They recorded it with producer John Congleton, who's worked with acts like Death Cab for Cutie and Angel Olson. The band is reuniting with their original label, Run for Cover Records, after their last album Beside Myself back in 2018. Fans have been waiting patiently, and this feels like a fresh chapter with more abstract vibes. Now they're hitting the road hard this summer. Starting with a UK headline tour in May, 2026, most dates are already sold out. Then, you're a bin. June alongside glare and fiddlehead,

plus big festivals like Outbreak and All Points East. Caps them live if you can. Wired drop soon, and with this momentum, basements prime to light up stages and speakers everywhere.
