Steve Mason
After recently signing to Domino imprint Double Six, Steve Mason has announced the release of his new album, Boys Outside, on Monday May 3rd 2010.
Having previously recorded as both King Biscuit Time and Black Affair, both largely electronic based projects, Steve Mason enlisted the help of producer Richard X and consciously made a decision to go back to basics; the album was written entirely on acoustic guitar with many of the finished tracks stripped back to reveal his undoubted songwriting talent.
Very much indicative of the fragile, stripped down, haunting sound of the album, All Come Down was released as a download only single in December of last year and was roundly praised for its beauty and simplicity drawing numerous comparisons to his early work with the Beta Band on the 3 EPs album.
The 10-track album was produced by Richard X and Steve Mason and will be preceded by a single, Lost & Found, on April 19th.
The full tracklisting for the album is as follows:
1. Understand My Heart
2. Am I Just A Man
3. The Letter
4. Yesterday
5. Lost & Found
6. I Let Her In
7. Stress Position
8. All Come Down
9. Boys Outside
10. Hound On My Heel
