Willy Mason - 'Oxygen' (Radiate / Virgin)
5/5
By: Toby L
Desolate, husky, enchanting, Willy Mason's mainstream debut 'Oxygen' is a clunking, acoustic ditty; a self-help remedy to ease worldly weariness, a voice that belies youth, and words that'll never falter ('We can speak louder than ignorance' - sing it, brother).
Seemingly recorded on a walkman, what it lacks in sonic extravagance, 'Oxygen' is bettered for in faithful grit and sans-nonsense directness, and a chorus so melodic and wistful, your eyes will well. Timeless sincerity, 'Oxygen' will soundtrack the ascendance of the truly affected.
