About The New Basement Tapes

The New Basement Tapes is a musical supergroup formed in 2014, bringing together notable artists such as Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James, and Marcus Mumford. The project was created to interpret and record newly discovered lyrics written by Bob Dylan in 1967 during the 'Basement Tapes' sessions. The group released their debut album, 'Lost on the River,' in the same year.

The New Basement Tapes' songs often explore themes of unwavering, unconditional love, lifelong commitment, and intense romantic possessiveness. Their work captures the complexity and depth of human emotions, creating a rich tapestry of lyrical narratives that resonate with listeners. These themes are evident in their unique interpretations of Dylan's words, bringing a timeless quality to their music.
