Melbourne trio Sex Mask release the ‘Raid’ EP on 31 July through Unpopular. The four-track collection contains ‘Raid’, ‘Lockjaw’, ‘Sweat’ and ‘TYFU’, combining post-punk tension, bass-driven momentum and the physical urgency of a group that appears uninterested in conserving electricity.
The title track arrived alongside radically different remixes from Violent Magic Orchestra and B-Mo, demonstrating how easily the band’s core material can be pushed toward harsher electronic territory. ‘Raid’ is compact, direct and built around movement rather than atmospheric hesitation. EPs often function as smaller statements between albums. This one sounds more like somebody has entered the building quickly, rearranged the room and left before anyone could locate the correct form.
