The Blue Mask is the eleventh album by singer-songwriter Lou Reed. It was the first album released after Reed left Arista and returned to RCA. It returns to the stripped-down sound of his previous group, the Velvet Underground, with only guitars, bass and drums. It also follows the Velvet Underground stylistically by counterposing jarring feedback-driven rock with tender ballads. Reed's and Robert Quine's guitars were mixed separately in the right and left stereo channels respectively. The album contains no instrumental overdubs with the exception of Reed's guitar on "My House", but all vocals were overdubbed with the exception of "The Heroine". In 2000, a remastered version of the album was released.
The album cover was designed by Reed's wife, Sylvia, and features a photograph of Reed by Mick Rock.
"My House" is dedicated to Delmore Schwartz.
