Basement is a highlight from IV, the recently released album by Finnish duo Cats of Transnistria. On this track, the band’s signature dream pop expands into more rhythmic, cinematic territory—bass, beats, and sweeping synths underlining Henna Emilia Hietamäki’s ghostly vocals. It’s one of their most accessible yet emotionally charged songs to date, where introspection and intensity waltz in slow motion. The result is a track that aches and glows, shimmering with restraint. If this is what post-hibernation sounds like, the wait was more than worth it.
Melancholia meets movement.
