Where the Humans Eat
Featuring in just about every 'up and coming' poll at the end of 2004, Willy Mason is shaping up to be the sleeper crossover of 2005. Hailing from Massachusetts Willy has almost single-handedly re-established the singer/songwriter genre in times when we are overrun with shambolic garage rock and over-produced pop. Possessing a vocal maturity that has commanded impressive comparisons to Johnny Cash and Tom Waits, this 19 year old's debut LP Where The Humans Eat has been met with huge critical acclaim. The album incorporates Mason's on-the-road philosophy, with his travels provoking political expressions and emotional intensity. On tracks such as 'Hard Hand To Hold' and 'Oxygen', his multifaceted approach to music forms an unsettling but pleasantly jarring accompaniment to his sophisticated musings. Astralwerks. 2006.
