After spending the last few months unleashing their explosive singles ‘Relax’, featuring legendary punk poet and fellow Colchester resident John Cooper Clarke, and their recent anthems ‘Borstal’, ‘Spaceman’ and ‘Midnight Club’, which have been collectively praised by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Gemma Bradley and Nels Hylton, and BBC 6Music’s Angelle Joseph, Kiss Fresh, BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio and A&R Worldwide’s Passport Approved, UK alt hip-hop band Monster Florence have now delivered their eagerly-awaited new album Master System.

Following the enormous support for their 2020 EP ‘Cowboys & Idiots’, Monster Florence look set to make Master System their most impactful to date. Moving on sonically from their more recent offerings, this new collection sees them venture into unexplored territory to deliver a rousing album that blurs the lines of contemporary music, continuing to push their sound ever forward.

"We hang digital art on digital walls to impress digital friends, and meanwhile the world burns" explains the band.

"When we started this album there was a real reason to fear how we connect with the world and each other. Human interaction had a new digital middle-man. It’s shocking that in the short time since then it seems that those fears are now an absolute. With technology’s influence growing heavy and support weighing far less, it’s like society’s Richter scale has hit a new magnitude, a measure of the chaos I guess. Master System is a love letter to humans and what better way to explain love, than chaos? We wanted to make something that felt unsettled, but familiar. Nostalgic but broken, kind of like that N64 cartridge you had blown a million times before it worked - songs like ‘Bad Graphics’ are a perfect example of that. The album contains heavenly highs and catastrophic lows, held together by a genuine concern for the future. It asks more questions than it can answer. We’ll let you decide those. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.", the band explains.
