People are Poison & Outside is Lava, A Coronavirus EP by Kenneth Masters

Could there be anything more anti-human than social distancing? We’ve evolved as a species to be social for our very survival. So it’s a strange change of events that, in this case, our survival depends on mantaining anti-social isolation.

This is the eerie reality that inspired Kenneth Masters’ Coronavirus EP, People are Poison & Outside is Lava. Featuring Digable Planets’ Doodlebug and Mello Music Group recording artist L’Orange, the EP is made up of five songs written and recorded during the shelter-in-place mandate that isolated Masters on a boat in the San Francisco Bay during the Covid-19 pandemic.
