About

Broadly cut from the synth pop cloth, Maus has fashioned the frosty minimalism of its fabric into a cloak of infinite meaning, genuine grace and absurdist humor over the course of three defining albums since 2006. His fourth album Screen Memories, follows six years after 2011’s We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves, which appeared like a thunderbolt of maniacal energy and turned everyone’s heads. 

Screen Memories was written, recorded, and engineered by Maus over the last few years in his home in Minnesota. It’s a solitary place situated in the sub-zero winter temperatures creep into the songs as do the buzzing wasps of summer. – Bandcamp

 “This new album sees the goofy harbinger of doom settle confidently into his fan-appointed hero role, which is handy, because as one YouTube commenter writes, it’s landed “just in time for the end of the world.”” – FACT

“The sense of gravitas that might have weighed down the LP is pinpricked by the glee with which Maus treats the topics at hand.Screen Memories is intelligent, catchy, brimming with personality, and, in spite of a solemn outlook, a fun ride—perhaps moreso than any other John Maus album to date.” – Resident Advisor
