Static King

**Static King** is the solo project of Stephen Mason, best known as the guitarist and co-founder of indie rock band Delta Spirit. Since launching the project in the late 2010s, Mason has carved out a moody, synth-laced sound that blends introspective lyricism with gritty electronic textures. His recent releases—like the haunting "Morning Ghosts," the pulsing "Heater," and the melancholic "There’s a Light"—showcase his knack for pairing raw emotional themes with atmospheric production. Drawing from DIY roots and a love for analog gear, Static King’s music feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, often exploring themes of longing, memory, and the quiet chaos of everyday life. Mason’s work under this alias retains the earnestness of his Delta Spirit days but trades rock anthems for a more intimate, experimental edge.
