JOHN MAUS lives in his birthplace of Austin, Minnesota. Whilst working towards his PhD in Political Science, he also composes music that taps into melancholic fantasy and affirms that we are all truly alive. Questing synthesizers, tensely strung bass lines and chasing drum machines providing the perfect backdrop for John's deeply resonant reverb-drenched vocal. Born in the decade of synth pop and sharing his birthday with George Frideric Handel, John started making music when Nirvana posters went up on every teenager’s wall. It’s this curious conflux of influences that partially helps to describe John’s music. It’s a world where the Germs jam with Jerry Goldsmith, Cabaret Voltaire relocate to Eternia and Josquin des Prez writes a new score for RoboCop. The confrontation of punk, the fleeting poignancy of 80’s movie soundtracks, the insistent pulse of Moroder and the spirituality of Medieval and Baroque music all find salvation in John Maus.

We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves breaks new ground for Maus. The shirt pulling and air punching of his impassioned live performance is finally captured in all its frenzied appeal alongside a tender inner space that wasn’t as apparent on his previous albums. It’s a record where promise takes the lead for the first time, providing a counterpoint to John’s default existential calling.

Depeche Mode - Tora! Tora! Tora! Live Remake

Year of Glad is an experimental drone-folk collaboration based in Montreal. In 2014, the band self-released a six song lo-fi epic entitled Old Growth. Despite very little promotion the album received critical acclaim from The Quietus ("Awe-inspiring. Keep an eye on these guys.") and Under the Radar ("A huge sound...ethereal cacophony.") The press piqued the interest of small UK label Vox Humana and a remixed and remastered Old Growth is to be released on deluxe colored vinyl and digital download in November. 

Year of Glad is the brainchild of A.P. Bergeron; conceived in solitude but brought up with the help of a veritable village of collaborators. Together, Bergeron and his shifting band of cronies have carved out a truly otherworldly sound—a shared fever dream at the intersection of folk, jazz, doom, and psychedelia. 

The project has drawn comparisons to Dirty Three, Amen Dunes and Sigur Rós, but Year of Glad’s vast and soaring anthems are equally indebted to the small town punk ethos in which many of it’s core members cut their teeth. Bergeron points to local post-rock pioneers Godspeed You! Black Emperor as having illuminated the potential for music that was both complex and beautiful while still maintaining a strong punk sensibility. “We were punk rockers growing up and Godspeed always had that punk spirit without the musical convention.” 

Bergeron wrote much of Old Growth in his childhood home of rural Nova Scotia. Seeking deep seclusion, Bergeron often retreated to the many derelict buildings that litter the province’s natural landscape. The balance of decay and new life found in these overgrown, abandoned homes and broken-down mills inspired a collection of songs dealing with the sublime, crushing mortality, and the universal connection between all living things.
