Bask drop new single “Long Lost Light” from fourth album “The Turning”

North Carolina’s psychedelic rockers Bask have released a new single “Long Lost Light” from their fourth studio album, “The Turning”, out August 22nd, 2025 via Season of Mist. With roots deep in Appalachian soil and eyes fixed firmly on the stars, the Asheville-based quartet are pushing their signature “Heavy Americana” sound into bolder, spacier territory—and they’ve brought a new band member along for the ride.

According to the band, the album was a long time coming. They endured more than a few setbacks, including COVID-19 and Hurricane Helene, but the end result is something they say feels like their most unified and heartfelt work to date. “The Turning” was recorded at Echo Mountain Recording in Asheville with local producer Kenny Harrington, who helped capture the raw and reflective tone of the album.

Throughout “The Turning”, Bask lean even further into the musical contrasts they’ve always embraced. Drawing from their love of heavy music, folk, and bluegrass, they’ve created an eight-track, 40-minute journey that balances earthy storytelling with cosmic scale. The band credits their longtime friendship—and the addition of Willis—as key to crafting such a cohesive and mature release.

To celebrate the release, Bask will hit the road for a run of East Coast dates this August, where fans can hear “Dig My Heels” and other tracks from the new album live.
