Onetime Beta Band frontman Steve Mason released new solo album Meet the Humans in February on Domino. If you dug their vibey percussion-heavy and acoustics sound, the new album should feel like a favorite sweater. New single “Alive” has a very cool video, directed by Rok Predin, which is like a remake of John Carpenter’s They Live in an 8-bit The Sims world. (Minus gum, ass-kicking and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, though.) You can check that out, plus a lovely animated video for first single “Planet Sizes” and a Spotify stream of the LP, below.
Steve will be on tour in the UK/EU this spring. All tour dates are listed below.
