"Willy Mason announces his new album 'Already Dead' for release on August 6th, his fourth album and the first for nine years.

First track to go live is album opener ‘Youth On A Spit’ one of Willy’s heaviest tracks to date.A 15 date UK and European tour is being planned for November.

About Youth On A SpitYouth on a spit is about the struggle for freedom and identity that comes from growing up in an advertising based culture. The refrain ‘you can’t kill me I’m already dead’ is about the liberation that comes with disillusionment.

BACKGROUNDNobody could believe Willy Mason was only 19 when he appeared on the indie scene, after a chain of events that saw Mason hanging out, performing gigs and touring America with the likes of Conor Oberst and his band, Bright Eyes around the time of releasing 'Humans Eat', the 2004 album and its singles (now classic track ""Oxygen"" and ""So Long"") charting in the UK Singles and Albums Charts in 2005. ""Already Dead"" follows 'Carry On', his 2012 album produced by Dan Carey during his time in South London which also led to Mason's feature on Lianne La Havas' album 'Is Your Love Big Enough' and his 2012 tour with Ben Howard."
