Mas Ysa Announces Seraph, Shares “Margarita”

Mas Ysa, the project of Thomas Arsenault, has announced his debut full-length. Seraph is the follow-up to his 2014 Worth EP, and it’s out July 24 via Downtown. That’s the album track “Margarita”—a song named in honor of his mother—above.

He said of the song: “This is named for my mom, who’s also on the cover art of everything I do. It deals with the trauma of becoming your own autonomous person and that person when you see your parent as a fallible person. It’s a complicated thank you.” That’s the single’s artwork below.

He’s also announced a string of tour dates this summer.
