Mass Datura - Wish Untitled

Mass Datura were initially formed as an outlet for Thomas Rowe and Joseph Colkett to channel their eclecticism, as the duo made a point of fusing their influences from grunge, alt-rock, doo-woop, blues and American folk.

With such a broad range of influences, as often happens, their pallet broadened even further, and the band grew arms and legs in the form of classically trained violinist and soprano Leanne Roberts, The Horrors’ guitarist Joshua Hayward, and Patrick Bartleet and Christy Taylor.

Their debut album, 2017’s Sentimental Meltdown, was a glam-tinged, colourful and chaotic slice of art-pop which was marked by a lack of discipline off-set by unbridled enthusiasm. Wish Untitled confirms chaos and irreverence are Mass Datura’s hallmarks, but they’ve progressed further down the timelines of history, choosing to plonk their Delorean in the car park of prog.
