*The Mast* represents one of the more exiting young bands working the Brooklyn indie scene these days with their unique brand of moody, percussive, electronic pop reminiscent yet distinct from acts like School of Seven Bells, Nite Jewel, and A Hundred in the Hands. I have seen the Mast live a couple of times in the last few months, and their sound seems to be quickly evolving as they become ever more popular with New York City area audiences. Musical evolution appears to be a consistent strategy for the Mast, as singer Haale and percussionist Matt Kilmer have transformed their sound from world music influenced rock tunes (under the name Haale), to percussion and guitar-based pop, to a fully electronic dance-oriented sound within which they are currently working.The duo is now spending a great deal of time recording as they prepare to release a second album, but they were kind enough to take some time to meet with me after their show a few weeks ago at Union Pool in Brooklyn. Amidst all of this rapid and dramatic change, I asked the two artists to discuss their current direction and what they envision for the future of the Mast over margaritas and chicken wings at a Cajun restaurant (just joking – we talked outside in the cold for about twenty minutes).Their responses raised some provocative questions about the nature of indie rock performance compared to other musical genres and how alternative performance styles, particularly those emphasizing the physical, might be successfully incorporated.Thinking of electronic-based bands that have added to their lineup for live shows, such as Chairlift, I asked Haale and Kilmer if they have considered expanding into a larger ensemble of performers – especially given the rigorous work during their live set necessary to achieve the heavily layered electronic sounds they produce. Haale’s reply surprised me – “Yeah, I would like to include some live dancers.”This unexpected response left me wondering about the propriety of the physical in indie rock. I love live music, however, my motivation for consuming it rarely relies on the actual physical appearance of the artists (except for maybe *the Dum Dum Girls* show I saw last year, and that had more to do with skirt length) and I have little interest in the sort of pop music heavily dependent upon representations of sexuality as a sales strategy (R&B dance artists like Beyoncé Knowles and squeaky clean-boy teen pop bands One Direction, for instance).Incorporating dance or other physical tropes into indie musical performance is an idea I probably would never have considered were it not for Haale’s comment. In any case, it would seem that incorporating something like dance successfully in indie rock without completely alienating its hipster, cooler-than-cats audience is first and foremost a question of properly proportioning the physical and the musical within the performance.
