Mura Masa (Alex Crossan) has announced his 2017 North American Tour in support of his self-titled debut LP out July 14 on Anchor Point / Downtown / Geffen. Joined by a full live band, the 21-year-old British producer brings the energy of his breakout Coachella performance across North America as he performs at a number of festivals along with club dates.
Mura Masa's live performances have drawn the praise of Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Magnet, who called the aforementioned Coachella set (with eight album guests appearing alongside Alex) "probably the single best set of the day." His live show incorporates hard-hitting percussion, meticulously crafted beats, and instrumentation from around the globe while he simultaneously switches between live guitar and keys.
'Mura Masa' features an extraordinarily diverse mix of collaborators: ranging from Damon Albarn, Christine & The Queens and Charli XCX to A$AP Rocky, Desiigner, Jamie Lidell, A. K. Paul, Tom Tripp, Nao and affiliates of Alex's own Anchor Point family in Bonzai.
Featuring acclaimed early singles "Firefly," "What If I Go?," "Love$ick" and "1 Night," debut album 'Mura Masa' - says Alex - captures the confusion and chaos of being 20 and living in London for the first time. The trial and errors of youth are all here, but drawn together by the importance of togetherness, and the challenge to connect (however isolated your upbringing, messy your love life, or busy your city). Digging into a dizzying array of musical subcultures, at the center of it all is a young Guernsey, UK producer barely out of his teens, whose hard work and innate curiosity has led to the point of curating an album alongside lifelong heroes, cult figures, and emerging talent.
