CD 4p digi + 18p posterbooklet. Chris Goss is one of the elusive geniuses of American music. As the singer, guitarist and driving force behind Masters of Reality, he's spent more than 40 years charting his own musical journey, travelling from mystical blues to desert rock to psychedelia-edged beauty via all points in between. Now Goss has returned under the Masters of Reality banner with The Archer, their first new music in 15 years. Since the start of the 21st century, Goss has balanced his work as a producer with his Masters of Reality output. There have been three more studio albums under the Masters of Reality name: 2001's Deep In The Hole, 2004's Give Us Barabbas and 2009's Pine/Cross Dover. Each was a self-contained musical universe, reaffirming Masters of Reality as a band outside of the mainstream music industry.Now, 15 years after his last release under the name, Chris Goss has finally returned with Masters of Reality. Like everything they've released since their inception over 40 years ago, it's another step on a journey that has continuously moved forward, never repeating itself or being swayed by external influences.
