A truly enigmatic and remarkable artist, John Maus' influence is felt throughout contemporary culture. Holding a degree in experimental music composition from CAL Arts and a PhD in Political Science from the University of Hawaii, he’s been dubbed a ‘Philosopher pop-star’ and ‘Nostalgic Futurist’ by critics for how he merges academic thought with lo-fi synth-pop. Maus has earned reverence from unexpected corners from UK grime icon Skepta, who sampled his track ‘I’m Only Human’ on the 2019 standout ‘Love Me Not,’ to the likes of Josh Safdie, Nettspend, Natasha Lyonne and via collaborations with fellow visionaries Panda Bear and Molly Nilsson. Over five previous albums - Songs (2006), Love Is Real (2007), We Must Become The Pitiless Censors of Ourselves (2011), Screen Memories (2017) and Addendum (2018) - the Minnesota-born artist has cut a singular figure, building a cult, loyal fanbase along the way.
