Seattle’s longtime power pop champion Jim Basnight reassures us “We’ll Always Be in Love” and we must “Leave the Past Behind”

Jim Basnight has just released a double-sided second single from his recent Early Years digital album: “Leave the Past Behind” and “We’ll Always Be In Love.”

Both are hook-laced, three-minute boppers with grit, fun quirks and unusual song structure, which should stand out for listeners, stations, shows and podcasters who demand no less. 

“Leave The Past Behind” is the grittier of the two. “We’ll Always Be in Love” is a shade cleaner and brighter, but both are full of sweet guitar licks, catchy rhythms and vocal harmonies. Additionally, “We’ll Always Be in Love” features the late Bill Rieflin, of King Crimson, REM and Ministry fame, working his magic on drums.
