Mason Maestro - Wrong Plot Down Midnight Lune (2024)

The Mason Maestro trilogy concludes. Wrong Plot Down Midnight Lune presents the final chapter in the archival series, collecting the essential works from 2015-2021—the era of Nine Miles from Mosul, Hoodoo and The Beehive & the Coal Mine.

This second volume charts the dramatic evolution of the Maestro sound into its most ambitious and theatrical form. The tracks within capture the journey from the gritty, blues-soaked incantations of Hoodoo to the sprawling, orchestral rock opera of The Beehive & the Coal Mine. Here, the poetic lyricism and complex arrangements culminate in a grand, overarching vision—a world where every art form is scrutinized and every power structure is challenged. This collection is the final, essential piece of the puzzle, showcasing the full flowering of a unique artistic voice that is both fiercely intelligent and viscerally powerful. This is the definitive conclusion to a landmark archival project.
