Jam of the Day: BASECAMP - "Smoke Filled Lungs"


Nashville trio BASECAMP release their self-titled debut EP, which can be downloaded for free here. "Smoke Filled Lungs" is a gorgeous track on the record that blurs the lines between future R&B, pop, and bass music. The narrator sings of a relationship failing, knowing how to fix it, but watching as his lover refuses to do anything about it. His haunted voice at the chorus sings, "It's just a cold visage and the hasty tongues/The hostile breath from the smoke filled lungs/That's why I don't like it here." You feel all the pain and futility seep from his body as the ghostly synths rise and take over his voice. The break at the 3:10 mark is mesmerizing.
