• INGREDIENTS is a salutation of unsung Melbourne group The Basics featuring tunes from their four excellent albums, EP’s and singles. The generous offering of twenty songs encapsulates a band, which has not been afraid to dabble in different genres.
• At heart, The Basics are a three-piece rock band. However, as their journey unfolds through song, the band effortlessly glide through a vast palate of sound. From the pop-tastic Wait For You to the rock and rollicking heights of The No 1. Cause of Death Amongst Youth Today, each twist and turn ensures that the listener is kept on their toes.
• Looking Over My Should, an irresistibly catchy song is one of The Basics folk-ier moments while the most recent single, 2009’s With This Ship is a real standout proving that The Basics have continued to develop their songwriting and have exerted themselves over the journey.
• The inclusion of B-sides and live recordings are generally fantastic, in particular the version of Better live at The Northcote Social club proves that The Basics are an incredibly talented live band.
• With the band currently on hiatus as Gotye continues to take over the world, this presentation of The Basics career to date gives an interesting insight into a gifted group that has long flown under the radar. - David Noordhoff
