JOHN MAUS

We Must Become Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves is the last album from John Maus.
It is, by far, one the best albums I have heard. I am a little obsessed at the
moment.

John Maus is 33 and is from Minnesota. He has played keyboard for Animal Collective,
Panda Bear and Ariel Pink, all who I adore. John Maus doesn't sound like any of
them though, he has a sound unlike anything I have heard. There is a huge eighties feel
to his music and along with the use of synthesisers and drum machines he creates something
rather wild. The wonderful thing about the last album is how diverse it is. One track can
be a pretty banging synth-pop gem and the next is hauntingly beautiful.
