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.

<i>New York has the rhythm, L.A. has the rhythm, Detroit has the rhythm, Paris has the rhythm, 
Miami has the rhythm, Seattle has the rhythm, Hong Kong has the rhythm, and London has the rhythm 
Atlanta has the rhythm, Chicago has the rhythm, Honolulu has the rhythm, Portland has the rhythm,

Cambridge has the rhythm, New Delhi has the rhythm, Beijing has the rhythm, and Austin has the rhythm 
St. Paul has the rhythm, Las Vegas has the rhythm, Sydney has the rhythm, Des Moines has the rhythm 
I've got the rhythm 
You've got the rhythm 
We've got the rhythm, yes we've got the rhythm 

What's that lousy sound I hear? 
It could only be one thing and that is music 
Don't let that music get to you 
First it takes your mind and then your soul 
Copper strings and bows comprised of horsehair 
Don't let that music... 

I hate music 
(Rock) 
(Jazz) 
I hate music 
(Classical) 
I hate music 
(Folk) 

Octaves will rise, higher and higher 
Until they break my heart in two 
Singers will sing, making my head ring 

I admit 
That only the angels (only the angels) 
Yes, only the angels heralding the trumpets of doom 
can make music sweet enough for me to hear 
Yes, I admit 
What's that lousy sound I hear? 
It could only be one thing and that is music 
Don't let that music get to you 
First it takes your mind and then your soul 
Copper strings and bows comprised of horsehair 
Don't let that music...</i>
