Heavy Eyes LP
Their ascent to the spotlight has been a steady trajectory, capitalizing on the success of their debut single “Johnny” in 2016. The track garnered endorsements from DIY Magazine and Exclaim! as well as respected tastemakers Gold Flake Paint, who hailed it a “favourite song of the year” contender.
For their debut full-length, the Basement Revolver returned to local studio TAPE where they had recorded both their EPs. Having developed a solid relationship with producers Adam Bentley and Jordan Mitchell, they continued to hone their signature sound, finding the freedom to get heavier for some songs and more laid-back for others. As Hurn explains; “It also gave me the confidence as a writer to not take myself so seriously, to let myself get cheesy or goofy with some songs.”
Today, Elise Davis released the video for “Lone Wolf.” BrooklynVegan said, “The album was produced by Jordan Lehning, who’s worked closely with Andrew Combs and Caitlin Rose and has done string arrangements for Kacey Musgraves, and if you like any of those artists but haven’t heard Elise Davis, that’s worth changing. She’s got a great voice, and she has a similar knack for making ’60s/’70s style country with a modern-day touch.”
