It’s been three years since Advance Base’s debut album, A Shut-In’s Prayer, made #19 on MOJO Magazine’s Best Albums of 2012 list. Since then, singer, songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Owen Ashworth has published a book of drawings, made beats for Chicago rapper Serengeti, recorded the debut single by psych-folk troubadour Julie Byrne, paid tribute to gospel and outsider music legend Washington Phillips (see 2013’s The World Is In A Bad Fix Everywhere EP), contributed electric piano and co-writing credits to Sun Kil Moon’s critically acclaimed 2014 album, Beni and produced more than a dozen other releases for his own label, Orindal Records.
Ashworth has finally turned his focus back on his own music and given us Nephew in the Wild, the second official album by Advance Base.
