MASK ANATOMICA, the enigmatic artist known for their genre-blending bravado, is set to drop their highly anticipated debut album, ROMANCING THE RETRO, on October 21st, 2025. This release is a love letter to the iconic sounds of the past, reimagined with a contemporary pulse that promises to captivate listeners.
ROMANCING THE RETRO is woven from the vibrant threads of rock, pop, and EDM, with influences ranging from David Bowie’s chameleonic artistry to Prince’s genre-defying swagger. Spanning eight tracks, the album channels the nostalgia of 80s pop, the groove of disco, and the grit of classic rock, all while infusing a modern, urban flair that feels fresh and relevant. MASK ANATOMICA aims to bridge the gap between timeless classics and today’s musical landscape, inviting younger audiences to discover the magic of retro sounds through a contemporary lens.
This debut is a testament to MASK ANATOMICA‘s fearless approach to music-making. Collaborating with a stellar trio of producers, the album showcases a kaleidoscope of sounds. Lane Cameron Music, the in-studio maestro, lays the foundation with meticulous craftsmanship. From Greece, producer MANOS brings an orchestral grandeur reminiscent of Giorgio Moroder’s electronic genius. Meanwhile, DJ Slava injects an urban, hip edge that adds a distinctive flavor to the mix. Together, this dream team has sculpted a sound that’s as diverse as it is cohesive, embodying MASK ANATOMICA‘s ethos: BE. WHO. YOU. ARE.
The album’s creation was a global effort, recorded both in-studio and online with session producers in the U.S. and abroad. Each track is a thoughtful blend of playful melodies, meaningful lyrics, and experimentation. MASK ANATOMICA pours their heart into lyrics that celebrate individuality and uniqueness, challenging listeners to embrace their authentic selves in a world that often demands conformity. Whether it’s the infectious hooks of pop, the pulsating beats of house, or the raw energy of industrial rock, ROMANCING THE RETRO delivers an experience that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
But the journey doesn’t stop at the music. MASK ANATOMICA is already working on a visual spectacle to complement the album. A music video for one of the album’s tracks is in the works, and fans can look forward to an online concert performance featuring the signature costuming and theatrical flair that define the MASK ANATOMICA brand. With choreographers skilled in aerial and modern hip-hop dance, the production promises dazzling visuals, special effects, and a celebration of the artist’s love for “masking” and performance art. If the online show strikes a chord, a live tour could be on the horizon, complete with dancers, DJs, and the full MASK ANATOMICA experience.
MASK ANATOMICA‘s musical journey began at a young age, performing in public arenas and later fronting rock and blues bands. Over the past six years, they’ve released two singles, earning praise for their “edgy” and “symphonically heavy” sound, with critics drawing comparisons to Pat Benatar’s fierce energy. The creation of MASK ANATOMICA as a brand marked a bold new chapter, blending music with theatrical costuming to create a persona that’s as captivating on stage as it is on record.
