'Self-destructive pop saboteurs who did it all wrong in all the right ways. Utterly brilliant' NME
'Steve Mason has steadily crawled from the wreckage of the Beta Band to be one of our most compelling singer songwriters' Guardian
In 1996, Scottish musicians Steve Mason and Gordon Anderson got together and formed Beta Band. They were quickly embraced by the media as the Next Big Thing and gained fans from across the musical spectrum, from Noel Gallagher to the various members of Radiohead. They were an idiosyncratic, self-contained, Dadaist counterpoint to the bloated Britpop corpse as it metastasised in the late 1990s.
They released three top 20 albums between 1999 and 2004 as well as the critically acclaimed
The
Three EPs compilation, which collated the earlier EPs upon which their reputation bloomed. The band split in 2004, owing their record label £1.2 million. Since 2004, Steve has forged a singular, highly lauded solo career, releasing five albums under his own name.
Failure is Always an Option is a captivating account of how Steve found belief in himself through music, and how this carried him over the next thirty years into all manner of success, failure and adventure. All the while battling the demons on constant patrol in his mind until, after they nearly finished him off, he focused full attention on purging them from of aspect of his life.
This is a story of youth culture, failure, success, sadness and redemption through music.
