About the light

"Following 2016's excellent Meet the Humans, former Beta Band mastermind Steve Mason takes a more organic and collaborative approach on his fourth solo album, About the Light. While his later catalog has increasingly revealed his acumen as a more straightforward pop songwriter ... Well-conceived, vibrant, and executed with attitude and aplomb, About the Light is a career standout for Mason".

"The infamous Beta Band frontman could have lingered in the shadow of his cult-figure fandom; instead, on his fourth solo album, he sings directly about the long process of growing up ... As a portrait of happiness, About the Light strikes its deepest chords when Mason acknowledges the long road he took to find it".

"At the outset of 2019, it is exciting to see Steve Mason releasing an early contender for album of the year. It might be a bold claim to make so early in the year, but it will be a great album that surpasses this one for depth and range in the coming year. Steve Mason is one of the foremost singer/songwriters of his generation and he only improves with the passing of time".
