Today, Melbourne-based post-punk upstarts Sex Mask have released their new EP “Body Broker”. The release comes on the heels of their recent singles “Cold” and “Blisters”, the latter of which features a guest contribution from Noah Learmonth of fast-rising hometown friends Radio Free Alice. The band are currently on tour with them and will play a sold-out show at London’s Scala tonight in celebration of the EPs release.
Recently championed as “Australia’s next big export” by NME, the self-contained writing/production unit – comprised of Vicente Moncada on drums/production, Wry Gray on vocals and lyrics, and Kaya Martin on guitars and synths – have only released a handful of singles to date but have amassed a devout following and widespread acclaim in the process with significant early press internationally, and early tracks such as “TV Movie” banking just shy of 1.5M streams on Spotify.
The first single to come from the new EP titled “Cold”, saw the band continue this ascent with likes of NME, DIY, Dork, The Line Of Best Fit, Notion, Kerrang!, and many more praising their exhilarating and immediate blend of early 80s industrial, no-wave and absurdist punk influences. Meanwhile, the latest single “Blisters” saw Sex Mask expand further on their multi-faceted and captivating sonic template, with wistful, warm guitars which swell and break as Gray and Learmonth’s pensive vocals dance around each other. At once both measured and direct, the dynamic new offering is just as beguiling as the passionate shout-a-long choruses and explosive instrumentation found elsewhere on “Body Broker”.

To mark today’s release, the band have shared a third and final track from the EP titled “Curse”. The reverb-soaked single is one of the most groove-heavy of their releases to date with a driving, muscular rhythm section and labyrinthine riffs that explode into a frenetic chorus that sees Gray and Martin’s vocals tear past each other.
