Masquerade album - red vinyl UK

Peeling back the ‘Masquerade’ or the facade we put up is something the record looks at too. The curtain is pulled and cynicism takes its place. It’s really easy to be cynical and far harder to be hopeful and genuine. We’ve learnt this through playing and touring but you can’t be a total cynic if you’re making music or films or whatever it is, making art forces you to dig deeper than that protective layer of cynicism. Stripping it back is painful, you can find things you’re really not proud of but it also lends itself to a sort of acceptance that can’t be attained if you don’t allow yourself that vulnerability. A lot of the themes and ideas in the album come from that place.
