Huddled in a Ballarat hideaway, Ben Mastwyk, Katie Brianna and Katie May assembled a makeshift studio by the open fire and proceeded to explore the alchemy of their guitars, analog synthesisers and mesmerising three-part harmonies. They emerged with a triptych of haunting songs, imbued with their collective DNA and delicately tainted with the moody atmosphere of the old cabin.

Wonderfully crafted songs with superb lyrical observation, killer choruses and enough attitude to make you sit up and pay attention. A well-rounded, deep, and knowing voice that’s perfectly attuned to the genre. Living On Gold Street is country with its heart in the tradition and its delivery in the very now.

"Mastwyk’s second outing explodes the delicate poise of excellent debut Mornin, Evenin with lashings of cosmic American pedal steel and psych-guitar glitz.
Winning Streak will be a
hard album to top in 2018"

"The songs are slow and steady, rich with meaning and truth, the arrangements tight, it's a real country album, inspired by Mastwyk's trips through the US south, as well as the burgeoning Americana scene here at home" Rhythms Magazine

"Mornin is eleven songs of straight-up country from the Hank Williams school via Townes Van Zandt and Willie Nelson, and Mastwyk’s voice has a rich imperfection reminiscent of Gram Parsons." Unpaved
