Mason Lindahl

Mason Lindahl’s meticulous dual-release presents a captivating study of ambient texture and place. Recorded in California (Joshua) and Iceland (Same Day Walking), the albums’ distinct sonic palettes—one “woolier and warmer,” the other starker—are inseparable from their locales. Lindahl’s singular nylon string guitar style, with its complex picking and judicious synth/organ touches, finds both intimacy and an otherworldly feel in an album of outstanding guitar music.

Californian guitarist Mason Lindahl announces dual albums, “Joshua / Same Day Walking,” arriving 24th September 2025. Listen to the lead single “Little Sister” which is out now. The albums chart distinct territories: Joshua is warm and hazy, while the Iceland-recorded Same Day Walking is windswept and stark. Lauded as “the greatest living guitar player” by Hayden Pedigo, Lindahl supports the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on 29th July.

This month, Mason Lindahl heads out on his European Tour which includes a London date on 12th January. The New York City-based guitarist made his Tompkins Square debut with Kissing Rosy in the Rain in January 2021.

Taken from Mason Lindahl’s deceptively intricate album ‘Kissing Rosie in the Rain’, watch the accompanying video for ‘Outside Laughing’, directed and edited by LA-based award-winning filmmaker and writer Michael Roberson.

“I didn’t want to do just a guitar record.” – ‘Kissing Rosy in the Rain’ is one of those recordings that just stays with you and makes you want to find out more about it and the people who made it, so we did just that.

Every note that Mason Lindahl plays on here counts and can be heard; there is a quiet strength and boldness to the music that makes it so effective. Kissing Rosy in the Rain is fantastic – Lindahl has explored the limitations and boundaries of instrumental guitar music and created something fresh and vital.

Next week sees the release of Kissing Rosy in the Rain, the Tompkins Square debut from New York City-based guitarist and composer Mason Lindahl. Listen to album track Outside Laughing.
