After the dark emotion of *Boys Outside* and the politically inflamed *Monkey Minds In the Devil’s Time*, *Meet the Humans* finds the former Beta Band man in a comparatively settled mood. The lyrics tend towards world-weary optimism and, musically, it’s his most fully formed record: elegant folk-pop enhanced by dub, hip-hop, house and a richness encouraged by his producer, Elbow’s Craig Potter. Laced with beauty, majesty, anger and euphoria, “Planet Sizes” may even be the best four minutes of Mason’s enthrallingly maverick career.

Meet The Humans is Steve Mason's third solo album and is arguably his most complete work to date, incorporating aspects of dance, pop, folk, dub, and deep house to create a compelling listen.

After the intensity and sheer breadth of 2013's politically charged Monkey Minds in the Devil's Time, Steve Mason returns with his most cohesive and fully realized solo effort yet.

Steve Mason's third solo album under his own name finds the erstwhile Fifer embracing a folktronica style familiar from those Beta Band days.
