Steve Mason releases his fifth solo album, Brothers and Sisters, on Domino. His most open, honest and vibrant solo record to date, it marries the personal and the political but does so in an emotive and uplifting manner. Written against a backdrop of fear and uncertainty, and at a time when those in charge lurched from one disaster to the next mismanagement with increasing regularity, Brothers and Sisters is in fact an incredibly joyous, even spiritual, listen.
