Willy Mason's sophomore album, If The Ocean Gets Rough, is the follow up to 2004's acclaimed debut Where The Humans Eat Filled with eleven of his best songs to date, including first radio single Save Myself. Recorded mostly in North Brookfield, Massachusetts at Long View Farm, a studio more notable for its livestock than its acoustics. The album is a family affair with Willy's younger brother Sam playing drums on all tracks and Willy's mum, Jemima singing backing vocals on several others With more developed and ambitious song writing and instrumentation, Mason joins personal tales with socio-cultural commentary, effortlessly expressing his own experiences while making them our own. After selling over 100,000 copies of his debut, Willy hit the road constantly and toured with the likes of Bright Eyes, Beth Orton, The Magic Numbers and was the sole support for Radiohead on their 2006 Europe/US tour.
