Once a founding member of The Beta Band, Steve Mason is now best known as an artist with a rare melodic gift and an urge to experiment. From his debut solo album, the elegantly melancholy Boys Outside, to his latest release Brothers and Sisters, Mason has never taken a step back, continually investigating where the boundaries between the craft of songwriting, technology and free expression lie.
Steve Mason’s most open, honest and vibrant solo record to date, Brothers and Sisters marries the personal and the political but does so in an emotive and uplifting manner. Written against a backdrop of fear and uncertainty, and at a time when those in charge lurched from one disaster to the next mismanagement with increasing regularity, Brothers & Sisters is in fact an incredibly joyous, even spiritual, listen.
