Back then, Mason quipped his next record would be his Brighton Album, reflecting his newfound stability. With About the Light, he keeps that promise, delivering the sort of ebullient late-1990s Britpop record that his former band famously avoided. Where such tunes were once the Beta Band’s springboards into a vast sonic universe, they are an end on About the Light, with nearly every song becoming a waiting game for the moment when the horns and gospel-style backing singers come charging in. Even songs that seem destined for the outer limits find their way back to earth.

Steve Mason announces the release of his new album, About The Light, which is released by Double Six on Friday 18th January 2019. About The Light is his fourth solo album following Boys Outside (2010), Monkey Minds In The Devil’s Time (2013) and Meet The Humans (2016). Having written most of his previous albums alone, About The Light marks a change in approach for Steve

About the Light’, Steve Mason’s first collection since 2016, is a raucous album of finely tuned British rock that gyrates and swaggers with skill and precision.

14 years later Mason is going from strength to strength, and new album ‘About The Light’ is quite possibly the most grandiose thing he has released to date. The most immediate thing about ‘About the Light’ is that all the songs have massive choruses - nothing new considering Mason’s back catalogue - but it’s the level of catchiness that’s the surprising, and surpassing, thing. Standout track ‘No Clue’ is classic Mason with swirling guitars and massive hooks. There is a playful bounce to it, meaning this should go off when played live

An affiliate of Domino sub-label Double-Six since forever, About The Light presents Steve Mason's fourth studio album for the label and first in around three years. Mason channels positivity, stability since relocating to Brighton and the desire to reconnect through a dub-time album of acoustic, Brit-pop, and let's say even folky electronic ska. Classic drum machines act as gues in some tracks, like "Rocket" and "No Clue", furthermore giving Mason some unneeded street credibility, on an album best suited for that 24-hour party person
