John Maus

The enigmatic synth-pop musician John Maus shapes his minimalist songs into a meaningful and often humorous experience. His music is frequently described as retro-futuristic—whatever that may mean. Armed with a PhD in political philosophy, Maus crafts an idiosyncratic blend of punk rock and experimental pop. His albums, including the widely acclaimed We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves (2011), speak for themselves. With a 6-LP box set and new projects on the horizon, this eccentric figure continues to be one of the most intriguing presences in the music world.
