It’s the first Willy Mason record since 2012.
Willy Mason has set his new album Already Dead for release on August 6th.
The title and concept refers to a ‘spiritual state to aspire to’ according Mason, ‘freedom from the trappings and inhibitions of one’s ego, culture, and mythology’.
“It is freedom and love and freedom to love in the face of death. It’s about the necessary destruction of one’s mythology; mythology of species, sex, race, nation, self.
“It’s about the pain and tragedy that comes with such destruction, but also about the freedom, possibility and opportunity for reconciliation; reconciliation with the natural world and with each other.”
The video for first single Youth On A Spit is online now, as are the details of a UK and European tour for November.
