I prefer peanut butter and honey.

Yes, that song is sick. Killer way to end the album.

I’ll admit that the first time I heard Mason Proper, I couldn’t get into their sound. However, after spinning “There’s a Moth in Your Chest” for a few days straight, they grew on me and became one of my top favorites soon thereafter.
Whenever they released a few of their new songs online, I was a bit hesitant to give the tracks a listen– afraid that I’d have to get used to a new, crazy sound all over again. Turns out these songs hooked me pretty well after the first couple chords.
I’m well pleased with the development of their sound and I can’t wait for even MORE Mason Proper.

I completely adored “There is…” and, without being negative I really wasn’t sure how Mason Proper were going to build on that for a second album.

Having been lucky to hear a few of the new songs ahead of time I don’t feel so negative anymore. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if “Olly..” is the album that pushes them over from being for-the-luckily-informed into whatever counts as the mainstream these days. And good luck to them!

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more Charlie. I didn’t even mention the production on the album, which is incredible. They paid attention to every detail.

Mason Proper brings everything that a band should together. They combine sounds that no one else has the balls to try. I love the songs ive heard

Now i’m even more exited. I have only heard half of the album, since they have cycled through about 5 songs on their myspace, but i can already tell it will be one of my favorites.

Love the album name too, can’t wait to yell “Olly Oxen Free!” when it shows up at my door.

I’ve been lucky enough to have an advance copy of this album as well…and I’ve not been able to stop listening to it. I really am enjoying all the songs but I especially favor “Fog”, “Point A to Point B”, and “Shiny”. Oh and I really dig “Lock & Key” too…ah who am I kidding , they are all ridiculously good.
