Domino Records have just uploaded the video for Steve Mason’s new single ‘Am I Just A Man’ over on YouTube. This is the second track to be taken from the album ‘Boys Outside’ (criminally overlooked for a Mercury nomination last week!) and follows on from Lost And Found which was released back in April. According to the YouTube description, the 12" vinyl release will feature a remix by Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip fame (plus a studio remix) and will be available to purchase from 16th August.
The video has been directed by JMD – who has previously worked with Ellie Goulding, Everything Everything, Hot Chip, Darwin Deez and Wild Beasts to name a few. Check out his/their impressive back catalogue at colonelblimp.com
You can view the video in 720p HD on YouTube or check out the embed below:
Steve Mason played the Park Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon (4-4:40pm)
If you missed it, Adam and Joe played a live recording of ‘Dr. Baker’ from Steve’s set on their BBC 6 Music show this evening. Check out the BBC iPlayer ‘Listen Again‘ and jump to ~50minutes in (8:48pm).
I don’t know if the BBC recorded any video from the set (or have plans to play any more tunes) – but get in touch if you spot any coverage on the red button etc.
If you know the rest of the setlist, or have photos/videos etc then please leave a comment or send me a Tweet @betaband
Update1:
The BBC have helpfully divided up the show into chapters, so you can jump straight to Dr Baker
The show was professionally filmed by Domino/DoubleSix so hopefully that will be hit the web at some point.
In the meantime I’ve found some great photos & video from the show taken by Bill Holding who has kindly given me his permission to post them here. Be sure to check out Bill’s Flickr page for more

Thought I’d throw up a post to collate all of Steve Mason’s forthcoming tour dates – and also because the poster for the Liverpool show really caught my eye… check it out, it’s beautiful:
edit: just found out the poster above was designed by Gary McGarvey aka Horse.

The video for Steve Mason’s new single ‘Lost And Found’ has been posted to YouTube by Domino Records
Having recently signed to Domino imprint Double Six, Steve Mason has announced the release of a new single, Lost & Found, on Monday April 19th 2010.
The single, available digitally and featuring the B-side Its Never You, is taken from his forthcoming album, Boys Outside, which is released on May 3rd.
Having previously recorded as both King Biscuit Time and Black Affair, both largely electronic based projects, Steve Mason enlisted the help of producer Richard X and consciously made a decision to go back to basics; the album was written entirely on acoustic guitar with many of the finished tracks stripped back to reveal his undoubted songwriting talent.
