Sex Mask – release their contorted new single and video, ‘Circe’

Melbourne-based post-punk/alt-rock provocateurs Sex Mask release their contorted new single and video, ‘Circe’, their latest release since the release of single ‘Beheadal’ which came out in February of this year. The release of ‘Circe’ comes alongside the re-release of ‘How To Be Cool At Parties’.

On ‘Circe’, the eclectic trio Sex Mask delivers a hypnotic piece which oozes raw, tumultuous sonics, landing at the cross-section of industrial rock, breakbeat, punk, nu-metal and spoken word.
 
Speaking about ‘Circe’, Wry Gray (frontman) said:
 
“Taking from Homer’s classic ‘Odyssey’, the use of “Circe” (The evil sorceress that turns men into animals”) is an illustration of my own projections at the end of a bad relationship. The way we demonise and mythologise others to satisfy our own peace or fulfilment in the moment, in this instance I felt best analogised by myself as “man made beast”, bright red with embarrassment

LISTEN TO ‘CIRCE’ AND ‘HOW TO BE COOL AT PARTIES’ HERE

Also announced today is a second in the series of double A-Side 7” vinyls, “How To Be Cool At Parties / Circe”. This physical release will be out exclusively to Rough Trade.  Pre-orders are available HERE.
