Mastersystem were a British rock supergroup composed of two sets of brothers, who were members of the groups Frightened Rabbit (including the late Scott Hutchison), Editors and Minor Victories. They released their debut and only album, Dance Music, on 6 April 2018, to critical acclaim.[1] The band began a UK tour supporting the album that same month, but further summer dates and a plan for a wider tour later in the year were halted after the passing of Hutchison a month later.
The remaining members of the band released the music video for their final single, "Old Team", in November 2018.[2]
Dance Music was included in several best-albums-of-2018 year-end lists, notably ranking in those by Rough Trade (17th),[3] ABC News (21st),[4] The Skinny (30th),[5] NME (55th),[6] Under the Radar (71st),[7] and Noisey (76th).[8]
