The Basics

This is what a song sounds like when you write and record it all in 30 minutes.

Every Part of Me

The original mix of "What Do You See In Me?" from The Basics' 2009 album 'Keep Your Friends Close'. Recorded at Soundpark in Melbourne, and mixed at Abbey Road Studios, this mix features the original vocal recorded in Melbourne (the final mix had a re-recorded vocal done at AR), and a distinctly Celtic flavour with fiddle in several sections played by Michael McClintock.
