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.

Quantum Leap

John Maus - Quantum Leap

Something about this song shakes my soul. This is emotional, but strong. Refined, but tribal. Raw, definitely raw.

I imagine the lone wayfarer coming to the end of his (or her) bitter journey. Having loved and lost, having sunk to the lowest of lows, the wayfarer returns to a simpler time--that hopeful place far and away from here. 

Brand new Australian singer-songwriter-producer Oliver Hugh Perry debuts his eponymous EP, D.D Dumbo EP, this November 12. I know Tropical Oceans was released a week and a half ago, but if this song is any indication of this guy's talent, I cannot wait for this EP. 

D.D Dumbo has a perfect blend of garage rock edge and indie folk sensibility. It's like Bon Iver and The Black Keys--my two favorite bands--had a baby over in Australia. 

I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing a lot more D.D Dumbo. Don't sleep on this one!


Grab the EP early!

Lyrics:
My eyes blew out I could finally see 
warm magical tropical oceans 
organs of people circle the sea 
I fell back to perpetual motion 

I opened my skull you were looking at me 
oh you and your cousins chihuahua 
we all howled a chord and extended the three 
freddy was there and re-mixed it after 

D.D Dumbo - Tropical Oceans

Here is Modern Amusement Podcast 03...I was enjoying a caipirinha in my hotel room on my last night in Sao Paulo this weekend, when I heard a rapid metallic knock at the door…   Thinking it was an errant room service, when I opened the door and saw nothing I was shocked…

Until I heard a series of bleeps and tones and a shiver coming from the ground and looked down.  I was surprised to see b6 the backwards motion robot again.  He was shivering and cold to the touch and his outstretched claw held a disc labeled “Lee Foss – Modern Amusement Podcast 03”   below was a a message from a future me that this was a recording of an old school house set from the early 2000's played at the 2088 Neptune Ball.  While excited to see more evidence that in the future both time travel and planetary colonies are possible I was disappointed that once again there was no tracklisting on the disc. 

Hope you enjoy,

Lee

Lyrics:
I'll hold, so near and cold
you've exhumed my love

I'm sold, and our story will grow old
but you'll make dust from gold
...
And I'll know that your heart was once like mine,
watch the flaws unwind.

And i'll throw my love to the ground
and i'll tear you out...

it's 5 am.
you're sitting at the hotel, looking at your mermaid friend.
so many people forgot who you were,
now they're calling you up again.

it's 5 am
she moves a little closer to you.
you're in past your knees,
she taps you on your chin,
the sea is full of sharks 
now can you swim?

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
this city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between church and pray
never let them tell you, you can't go your way

everybody's hiding in the neon lights
this city is a jungle better learn to fight
better learn the difference between do and say 
never let them tell you, you can't go your way

falling, 
darling
hold on to,
love.

it's 7.02
you're sitting at the diner, mumbling to the girl in blue.
she pours you a drink,
the table starts to sink,
you hang on but you're falling through.

it's 7.02
someone calls your name
somewhere in the rubble there's a flame
somewhere in the dark is your past
telling you to never look back.

I feel the morning coming over
But if you stay you can leave with me
I'll tell you everything I know
Nowhere left to be

Rain is falling in the corner
Above the boys and the moonlit mask
Just be a shoulder for my head
All I ever ask

Annie left me to the lions
I took a pill and she took my friends
But there is something right with you
Nevermind the end, nevermind the end, nevermind the end

Take me away from here
Somewhere we can just disappear
I'll be your morning light
If you wanna be my ride tonight

Take me away from here
Somewhere we can just disappear
I'll be your morning light
If you wanna be my ride tonight

Rain is falling in the corner
Above the boys and the moonlit mask
Just be a shoulder for my head
All I ever ask, all I ever ask, all I ever ask
