Further Sky is an EP by English rock band Basement. The band went on hiatus in July 2012, prior to the release of their second album Colourmeinkindness in October 2012. They began practicing again around Christmas 2013, composing the song "Jet". Whilst guitarist Alex Henery was in the United States, the rest of the band wrote another song, "Summer's Colour". In late January 2014, they announced the end of their musical hiatus. Along with a cover of the Suede song "Animal Nitrate", the group recorded the aforementioned original songs in early 2014. Recording was done in secret at Livingston Studio 1 in London, with producer Dan Goudie.
On 28 July 2014, the Further Sky EP was released through Run for Cover Records, and was available for streaming three days prior. Categorized as an alternative rock EP, it was met with a positive reception, with several of the music critics complimenting the change in sound and praising Andrew Fisher's vocals. Following this, the band toured Australia, Japan, America and the United Kingdom, which included playing as a support act for Brand New.
