Already Dead

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Magic, miracles, ghosts, world leaders; these days it seems there is little left to believe in. Lies outweigh truth and even truth can be dangerous. Raising everyone's spirits Already Dead - the fourth album and the first for nine years from Willy Mason - explores honesty and deception, anonymity in the digital age, good intentions with unexpected consequences, freedom, colonialism, love, god, and purpose because, it's storyteller says, now is the time to restore some much-needed faith. Already Dead arrives at a time when certain words must be said. It is a quest for love in a society which fears and discourages it; for truth and justice in a society which prioritizes convenience and profit. "I ended up diving so deeply into this record because it felt at the time, like the only way I could hope to do some good for somebody," Willy says. "All the concern and care I have for people, fear, frustration and sadness, all came pouring out."
