In 2013 the band released the album Master, described as "weird, majestic and abrasive".[9] Martin later noted that "The making of Master was very long, to the point of being slightly frustrating, although we were really happy with the end result".[1]

In 2014 the band performed a live sound track to Nineteen Eighty-Four at CERN as part of the Cineglobe Film Festival.[1]

In November 2015 they released their fourth album, the six track Highly Deadly Black Tarantula.[10][11][12] The album included the song "Love Theme for 1984" that had been written for the CERN performance.[1] In reaction to the long recording process of Master the four members took a "very direct and stripped back [approach], with less of the interludes and longueurs we’ve become known for", according to Martin.[1] While the first three albums featured paintings by John Ball, the cover of the fourth album included a photograph by Oli McAvoy.[1]

Style
