Two Piers release the second in their ‘Presents’ compilation series with Steve Mason (Beta Band, King Biscuit Time) stepping up to the curation table to deliver a stunning compilation of tracks entitled ‘The Romance of Unknowing’.
Steve Mason presents: The Romance of Unknowing takes in influences from Northern Soul, Punk, Folk, Hip-Hop, Soul and Post-Punk, spanning tracks from 1965 to 2005.
Scottish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Steve Mason rose to global critical acclaim as a member of the Beta Band. With their unique artistic approach they earned a glowing worldwide reputation thanks to releases like 1998’s The Three EP’s and 2001’s Hot Shot’s II.
During the Beta Band’s heyday and following their 2004 breakup, Mason also recorded two EPs and an album as King Biscuit Time and has since had an incredible solo career, releasing six critically acclaimed albums, including his most recent in 2023, Brothers & Sisters. In 2025 the Beta Band reformed to play a series of live shows across the world, all of which sold out instantaneously.
Steve Mason presents: The Romance of Unknowing follows the release of Richard Norris Presents: Weird Scenes from the Hangout in 2024 on Two Piers, the label that have released such critically acclaimed Compilations as Pop Psychédélique (The Best of French Psychedelic Pop 1964-2019), Strobes in Space (Indie Sleaze, Nu Rave & Future Disco 2000-2009), Night Train (Transcontinental Landscapes 1968-2019) and Soul Psychédélique (The Sounds of Psychedelic Soul & Funk 1967-2024).
