Some people have the ability to take themselves to heights that others can only dream of. And still others have the uncanny ability to take themselves to heights that others can only dream of, after taking themselves to the edge of the abyss. And that gives some of us not only the ability to strive even harder still, but the reflection in which to appreciate the scope of such and achievement. Simon Mason is the later, to say the least. Just read his 2013 autobiography “Too High, Too Far, Too Soon”and you will see what I am talking about.

Fast forward to 2017. Simon, in record time, forms Hightown Pirates, writes and records a very solid album (review HERE), and generates a name for the band as one of the freshest in indie for 2017. That talent only comes with a deep personal reflection. And today we talk about that talent, and so much more with Simon Mason. Enjoy!

Hightown Pirates’ debut album, “Dry and High”, was released June 16th on Strike-Back Records.
