"Sex Mask Unveils New EP and Tour Dates"
Melbourne-based post-punk band Sex Mask is making waves with the announcement of their upcoming EP titled “Body Broker,” set to be released on November 26th. In anticipation of the EP, they have shared an electrifying lead single, “Cold,” which is already garnering attention for its engaging blend of indie-punk instrumentation and introspective lyrics.
Following their recent double A-side 7” release, “Circe” / “How To Be Cool At Parties,” Sex Mask has quickly risen through the ranks of the music scene, with NME dubbing them “Australia’s next big export.” The trio, consisting of Vicente Moncada, Wry Gray, and Kaya Martin, is known for their unique sound that combines elements of absurdist punk, creating a captivating listening experience that has attracted a dedicated fanbase.
“Cold” encapsulates the band’s volatile yet melodic style, featuring ruminative vocals and a high-energy instrumentation that showcases their affinity for new-wave and post-punk influences. Wry Gray, the band’s vocalist and lyricist, shares an intriguing backstory about the song’s creation, recalling how its inception was influenced by a period of illness during his time near Mt Fuji.
The forthcoming “Body Broker” EP promises to be a multifaceted exploration of sound, featuring intense industrial beats and dynamic guitar lines, complemented by explosive choruses. Additionally, fans can look forward to a guest appearance from Noah Learmonth of their friends and fellow band Radio Free Alice, adding further excitement to the project.
To celebrate this release, Sex Mask will go on a European and UK tour with Radio Free Alice, kicking off on November 9th in Rotterdam. The tour is expected to be a significant moment for the band, as they perform at some prestigious venues, including London’s sold-out Scala. Fans can anticipate a thrilling live experience as they showcase new music alongside their previously beloved tracks.
With numerous shows already under their belt, including performances at festivals like Dot To Dot and SXSW Australia, Sex Mask has proven they can captivate audiences. For those eager to hear more, “Cold” is available now, alongside the opportunity to pre-order “Body Broker.”
