Mason Maestro - Wrong Switch Down Monteville Line (2023)

Mason Maestro's archival journey continues. Following the critical re-examination of his early years, Wrong Switch Down Monteville Line delves into the artist's middle period (2008-2014)—an era of shifting tracks and fateful diversions.
Here, Mason Maestro maps the consequences of pivotal turns into darker, more complex sonic and thematic territory. This collection compiles the essential tracks from this period of systemic critique and mythic world-building, serving as both a definitive primer and a lost map to a crucial junction in the Maestro discography.
