basement membrane: good morning neighbours
Francisco Espregueira
Basement Membrane comes through with Good Morning Neighbours, a warm yet rough-edged record that feels rooted in late nights and shared rooms rather than polished studios. Led by Georgian producer Mishulino, the project leans into groove-first thinking, pulling from jazz-funk, broken beat, hip-hop, and dusty soul without locking itself into any single lane. Released on Wicked Wax, and following Punk Funk (Inner Tribe Records, 2021) the album reflects a collaborative mindset, shaped by musicians like Luka Topuria, Mike Rafaj, Bjazz11, Stan Smith, and Lars Karakusevic.
Much of Good Morning Neighbours was born during the strange stillness of 2021, recorded in a home studio in Tbilisi with an old upright piano and whatever gear was around. You can hear that closeness in the sound: human and alive. The tracks breathe easily, moving between loose jams and focused beats, while still carrying a sense of place and friendship. It’s a record that doesn’t rush to impress, but instead invites you in slowly, like music drifting through thin apartment walls on a quiet night. Soon available on vinyl.
