An artifact from the depths of the 80s, Eleven Pond's Bas Relief LP is a striking reminder of moody pop craftsmanship. The low thrum of basslines intertwines with haunting guitar riffs like shadows dancing on a dimly lit wall, while tracks such as "Tear and Cinnamon" command attention with their unyielding melodies. This remastered reissue not only provides a very welcome correction to a previous pitch shift but also returns with all the tactile charm of its original screen-printed jacket and included paraphernalia. In a world of fleeting trends, Bas Relief stands defiantly as an enduring relic of dark pop history.
