1) basecamp (베이스캠프) is a male duo band and producer group under wavy. Formed in 2015, they had their beginnings as producer duo who worked with many artists over a period of 7 years. They eventually debuted on May 17, 2022 with the digital single "Wandering".
2) A trio with musical influences that extend far beyond their hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, BASECAMP came to fruition when the three producers joined forces to write. With a natural affinity for writing and collaborating, what resulted was 'Emmanuel' - a track that pulls you in and lingers in your consciousness even moments after its end. Realizing there was a musical void that needed to be filled, the idea of BASECAMP immediately took hold. Deconstructing typical genre boundaries by utilizing haunting melodies, intensified by thumping bass lines and heavily percussive drums, BASECAMP effortlessly layer unpredictable tempo changes with elements of subtle glitch and live strings. Combining seducing vocals with irresistible R&B timbre reminiscent of James Blake or Sampha of SBTRKT, the trio meshes seemingly incongruous musical textures and chords to create beautiful tension across all four tracks on their upcoming self-titled debut EP. Universally appealing with burning lyrics and a fully realized musicianship that can't be faltered, the EP is only a prelude to the eclectic BASECAMP narrative.

Basecamp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that maybe you're right
Cuz I came and went
I left you again
With a wound you cannot hide
You caught me out in the open
You drew a bead on my heart
You reap what you sew
Never finish what you start
Set the trap
Fall back
To the trees
You're my favorite one to fight
Such a beautiful machine
Cover tracks
Never fall asleep
We could do this all night
We'll never break from this cycle
Now
Our double helix will spiral
Down
Keep low
And wait for you to lead
You're my favorite one to fight
Such a beautiful machine
Too late for making amends now
Too far to throw in reverse
So we spoke our piece
Then spread our disease
Over every inch of dirt
You wouldn't be taken hostage
And I wouldn't lay down and bleed
So we cut the ties
Said fuck the disguise
Never trust what you can't see
Set the trap
Fall back to the trees
You're my favorite one to fight
Such a beautiful machine
Cover tracks
Never fall asleep
We could do this all night
We'll never break from this cycle
Now
Our double helix will spiral
Down
Can't hide
Burned through all the leaves
Used up everything we had
Brought the forest to it's knees
The lyrics of Basecamp's song Reap can be interpreted as a story of two people who are in a challenging relationship. One person acknowledges that they have consistently left the other person with an emotional wound, causing them to lose trust. They both have a tendency to come and go and never finish what they start, leading to a cycle of destruction and mistrust. Despite the negative aspects of their relationship, they continue to be attracted to and fight with each other. The song implies that their dynamic is destructive, as they spread their "disease" over everything they touch and bring the forest to its knees.
The imagery in the lyrics is dark and intense, suggesting a tumultuous relationship with volatile emotional highs and lows. The metaphor of the "double helix" spiraling down represents their intertwined and destructive relationship, and the lack of trust and the cycles they have created prevents them from escaping the pattern. At the end of the song, the imagery implies that they have exhausted all their resources and caused permanent damage through their destructive ways.
Line by Line Meaning
I know you think you can't trust me
I am aware that you have doubts about my trustworthiness
And I know that maybe you're right
It is possible that your doubts are valid
Cuz I came and went
I have been inconsistent in my actions
I left you again
I abandoned you once more
With a wound you cannot hide
You are hurt and unable to conceal it
You caught me out in the open
You exposed my vulnerability
You drew a bead on my heart
You aimed your feelings directly at me
But you come and go
However, you are also inconsistent
You reap what you sew
Your actions have consequences
Never finish what you start
You have a tendency to leave things unfinished
Set the trap
Create a plan to ensnare your target
Fall back
Retreat or withdraw from a position
To the trees
Find shelter in nature
You're my favorite one to fight
You are the most worthy adversary
Such a beautiful machine
You function like a well-crafted device
Cover tracks
Hide evidence of your presence
Never fall asleep
Stay alert and vigilant
We could do this all night
Our conflict could continue indefinitely
We'll never break from this cycle
Our pattern of behavior is unlikely to change
Our double helix will spiral
Our intertwined lives will continue to go in circles
Keep low
Remain close to the ground for cover
And wait for you to lead
Allow the other person to make the first move
Too late for making amends now
It is too late to repair the damage done
Too far to throw in reverse
It is impossible to go back and undo the past
So we spoke our piece
We each said what we had to say
Then spread our disease
We allowed our negative feelings to infect others
Over every inch of dirt
We tainted every aspect of our relationship
You wouldn't be taken hostage
You refused to be held captive by the situation
And I wouldn't lay down and bleed
I refused to be defeated by the conflict
So we cut the ties
We severed our connection
Said fuck the disguise
We discarded our fake personas
Never trust what you can't see
It is wise to be cautious of what is hidden
Can't hide
There is nowhere to conceal oneself
Burned through all the leaves
Our conflict consumed everything in its path
Used up everything we had
We exhausted all of our resources
Brought the forest to its knees
Our conflict caused destruction and devastation
