Rocheman - Basin *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 27th November 2026
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

The Hotel is proud to present Basin, the second studio LP by London singer-songwriter Rocheman.

Written between the death and birth of two loved ones, Basin narrates a tender cycle of confusion, understanding, compassion, and hope, through intricate arrangements and an orchestral sound palette.

A suite of exquisitely composed songs, Basin guides the listener through its unique sonic world filled with beauty, wonder and mystery, with Rocheman’s voice sitting maturely at the forefront.

Originally self-released by the artist, The Hotel presents Basin in an LP edition designed by Thomas Bush, accompanied by a 12-page lyric booklet with artwork by Rocheman in collaboration with Loz Keystone.

from Rocheman:

“this album spanned a few years, bookended by my Dad’s passing and the birth of my child. a lot if it was made in our damp basement. the album went through a lot of concentrated periods of understanding what my Dad had left behind, how deep family karma goes, how it still shows up. through intimate relationships, the outside world, everything the mind tries to say. this project has often been a sense maker of a lot of confusing stuff. for some reason early on it became compelling to stick as much as possible to cheap MIDI sounds, to see if something arose from writing quite grandiose, occasionally melodramatic things, funnelled through faux instruments doing bad impressions of real ones. for some reason it matched the dichotomies that were coming up a lot in grieving my dad ~ empathy/lack of resolution, real memories/unreal selfprotecting stories, my own patterns of BS/the quieter real self or soul. all still going on in some way. but making this was a very fulfilling way to transmute some of it and pass it on with love.”
