New Music from Mason Proper
The album is out in September, and HEAVE gives you a first listen.
Mason Proper may have gone through the most name changes than any other band. Now on their third (and probably last) name, Mason Proper is set to release their second full length on Dovecote Records. Their first release, There Is A Moth In Your Chest, garnered some critical success, not to mention some pretty nice album art done by Grandaddy drummer Aaron Burtch.
Their upcoming second album, Olly Oxen Free, was somewhat produced by super producer Chris Coady. Coady has done work with TV on the Radio, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and others. I say somewhat because Coady had such a busy schedule that he was in and out of the production, leaving front man Jonathan Visgr to do most of the recording and producing.
Mason Proper is far from just an indie pop outlet. They focus on angular sounding guitars that deliver a far more unique, almost reminiscent to their friends (and cover artists) Grandaddy. Take a listen to "Lock and Key" below.
