Today, Melbourne-based post-punk upstarts Sex Mask have shared new single ‘Blisters’. The track features a guest contribution from Noah Learmonth of fast-rising hometown friends Radio Free Alice, who the band are currently on tour with, and is the second track to come from their recently announced EP Body Broker out 26 November. The self-contained writing/production unit, comprised of Vicente Moncada on drums/production, Wry Gray on vocals and lyrics, and Kaya Martin on guitars and synths, have only released a handful of singles to date but have amassed a devout following and widespread acclaim for their exhilarating and immediate blend of early 80’s industrial, no-wave and absurdist punk influences.
The new single ‘Blisters’ sees Sex Mask expand further on their multi-faceted and captivating sonic template, with wistful, warm guitars which swell and break as Gray and Learmonth’s pensive vocals dance around each other. Speaking on the track Gray said:
“Blisters was actually one of the earliest songs we wrote for Sex Mask so it’s cool that it’s finally seeing the light of day. We recorded it with Darren Seltmann at his studio on Sydney’s northern beaches and I feel like the sense of place really comes through. The imminent threat of boulders and small boat ride to the studio set a unique precedent to its making. Working with Noah was also a great opportunity to embellish the melodic qualities”
