Go on tour with Mastersystem in their ‘Old Team’ video

Mastersystem was a supergroup formed of Frightened Rabbit/Editors members. They released their first and only album ‘Dance Music’ earlier this year, and have now shared the final single from it.

‘Old Team’ comes complete with its own video, comprising footage from the band’s first and only tour.

“This footage was shot during the first and last Mastersystem tour,” the band say of the new video in a statement. “The great thing about it is it just shows a bunch of fellas, having the best time, ripping the piss out of each other, laughing and doing some shows. There’s something fucking brilliant about this…something free of the pressure that bands can turn into…That’s what Mastersystem was about, just a record, a band built from going back to how we all started, throwing riffs and cords around until it sounds something like a tune. No fuss.

This was Scott’s favourite tune on the record, and the spark that lit the paper that led to the whole Mastersystem album. It was always in our plans to be THE single off the record.

We’re very fucking proud of it, which is why we’re honouring our original plans to put it out. It will not be a thing to propel Mastersystem forward into new places, but serve as a monument to all involved and to all that listened….That we made a class record we all believe in.

Cheers for listening. Justin, Grant, James and Nick.”

‘Old Team’ will be released on a limited run of 500 vinyl, with all proceeds going to the newly-established Scott Hutchison Fund, in memory of the band’s late frontman.

The fund is also set to be supported by a New York gig in celebration of Scott’s life, which will see performances by members of The National, Death Cab For Cutie and more.
