Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Being able to wear a mask to hide one’s intentions is considered dishonourable; the element of mystery is heightened by hundreds of years of pop culture where the villain hides their identity so that they might rob and maim with impunity. From the legends surrounding highwaymen, through to the modern-day equivalent of plastic replicas of famous people covering the face when stealing from a bank, the mask is one that brings out a certain boldness of deceit and the air of the mystique.
