music - Mason Proper

Is Mason Proper right for me?

If you like Cold War Kids and, say, Wolf Parade, Mason Proper might be right for you. Don't take Mason Proper if you are nursing, pregnant or could become pregnant. Consult your doctor.

Until recently, not even my most plugged-in indie music junkie friends knew this band. Maybe because they're from Michigan and haven't played any shows west of... well, Michigan. But in any case, they're great. 

Both of their albums are sharp, stripped-down rock. Their website lies here.
