Cynthia G Mason is one of the unique voices coming out of Philadelphia. With a post like this I should really consult the experts at WXPN for the inside scoop on Ms. Mason. But what I’ve learned on my own is that she is a critic’s darling in Philly. She’s been compared to Cat Power and Suzzanne Vega. Quitter’s Claim is her sophomore cd and is being released on Jan. 23 on High Two Records.
Her silky smooth voice is put to good use on the nearly whispered track “Like A Lifer Out For Good”, it’s a perfect compliment to the Faheyesque guitar lines that weave in and out of the song. If you pre-order this new release now here it’ll only cost you only $10. After the release date it goes up to $13.
