Double Standard Weight 150gm vinyl.His most open, honest and vibrant solo record to date, it marries the personal and the political but does so in an emotive and uplifting manner. Written against a backdrop of fear and uncertainty, and at a time when those in charge lurched from one disaster to the next mismanagement with increasing regularity, Brothers amp Sisters is in fact an incredibly joyous, even spiritual, listen.With musical contributions from feted Pakistani singer Javed Bashir, British gospel singers Jayando Cole, Keshia Smith, Connie McCall amp Adrian Blake and Kaviraj Singh on the santoor it’s a record about bringing people together through art, music and culture. ‘To me, this record is a massive ‘Fuck you’ to Brexit,’ explains Mason. ‘And a giant ‘Fuck you’ to anyone that is terrified of immigration because there is nothing that immigration has brought to this country that isn’t to be applauded. Can you imagine what this place would be like without that immigration I mean what would it be like Cornish pasties and morris dancing.’ Steve Mason is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £21 +P&P
