Australian cosmic cowboy Ben Mastwyk is gearing up to release his fourth album Let Me At The Night on July 18 and its title track offers a powerful glimpse into a record that’s both emotionally grounded and sonically expansive.

The single is a heartfelt country power ballad that captures the restless spirit of someone yearning to break free from isolation and return to the vibrant nightlife of bar rooms, live bands, and communal joy. Using “the night” as a metaphor for freedom, dreams, and connection, Mastwyk describes the song as “a love letter and a battle cry” an urgent plea to rejoin the world of movement, music, and meaning. 

Laced with pedal steel and intimate storytelling, it paints vivid scenes of dance floors, late-night smokers, and familiar faces now memories for a narrator stuck in solitude with only a sleeping dog for company.

The accompanying video clip for Let Me At The Night amplifies the song’s cosmic energy, shot in bold yet hazy hues that evoke a dreamy, psychedelic atmosphere. It’s a visual extension of Mastwyk’s “cosmic cowboy” persona - rich in symbolism, meticulously crafted, and unmistakably stylish. As with all his creative work, the imagery is deliberate and immersive, blending retro flair with otherworldly charm. His exquisite wardrobe choices are a highlight of their own, vintage-inspired, dazzling, and daring enough to spark envy from even the most seasoned fashionistas.

Recorded with long-time collaborator and producer Michael Hubbard at The Shrimp Shack studio in Melbourne, Let Me At The Night began with a vision of ‘90s-inspired country, but Mastwyk and his band The Millions were free to experiment and that they did. 

The result is a genre-blurring, high-octane collection that fuses honky-tonk with cosmic disco, and country ballads. “It’s still a country record in my eyes,” Mastwyk says, “but we’ve pushed our sonic palette further than ever before.”

The new songs were road tested at the Tamworth Country Music Festival over three massive nights, proving their power to ignite a crowd. “This one’s for lift-off,” Mastwyk says. “Written for festivals and big audiences.” From its bar room roots to its celestial ambitions, Let Me At The Night is designed to lift off and keep soaring.

What sets the album apart is Mastwyk’s fearless blend of contradictions, melding classic storytelling with futuristic tones, emotional weight with unfiltered joy. It’s country music that respects its roots while charting a bold, new path.
