Multi-genre Psych Rock and Americana band Bask have faced a number of setbacks in recent years, including the pandemic nixing their 2020 tour of North America, and 2024 bringing disaster to their mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina when Hurricane Helene unleashed cataclysmic flooding.

Meanwhile, they kept working on their fourth album, The Turning, delving further into their Heavy Americana sound. The single and video for “Dig My Heels” is out now, and the album arrives on August 22, 2025, via Season of Mist.

The band says:

The past five years have been challenging for all of us. So seeing this album finally come to light is therapeutic. The Turning is Bask at our finest. It’s our most cohesive and heartfelt effort, an ode to our mountain home in the sky.

For as long as they’ve been together, Bask have called Asheville, North Carolina home.  Drummer Scott Middleton and guitarist Ray Worth were already jamming when in 2013, they added bassist Jesse Van Note and vocalist/guitarist Zeb Wright after the two arrived in town.

Bask continue to grow by conceptual bounds on The Turning. Following a retreat to Echo Mountain Recording with producer Kenny Harrington, the band have returned with a concept album that straddles the fence between Cosmic and Country and brings in the sounds of Appalachia.
