Why does this guy have a die-hard cult of fans?
Makes catchy synthpop with dumb repetitive lyrics, what makes people so passionate about that?
Jose Anderson
mde
Daniel Wilson
fucking link pls
Joshua Hall
philosophy-pop p much
Anthony Thompson
idk i just see it as great synth pop on the surface but the lyrics are the product of someone who's gone to hell and back reading books written by the smartest people that ever lived. your average indie pop musician makes sarcastic snarky remarks about how sad he is all the time. maus isn't a fraud
Hunter Cox
It's so fucking good.

Evan Cooper
sweet jesus, thanks user.
Austin Young
For me pretty much all of his albums had to slowly grow on me over time. Cant even put my finger on why I really like it, its probably just bad honestly idk
Wyatt Hall
It's bad
Blake Rivera
What a let down from the last album
Jack Hill
his best album
Jayden Taylor
It's pop music stripped down to its core based on academic shit. There's a lot of fun irony in his stuff where he's making danceable pop music that's really intensely developed so that it's painfully simple. You could just listen to it and understand it instead of complaining that it's not something else.
Caleb Moore
absolutely terrible album art, my god
I'm going to replace it with this
William Allen
This
Xavier Rogers
amen brother
IT'S GONNA DUST US ALL TO NOTHIN'
Isaac Anderson
holy shit that's even worse you faggot
Anthony Fisher
it's black text on white it's objectively neutral
Andrew Ortiz
>I don't understand design or how an album's cover is part of the overall work, but let me tell you a thing I heard once out of context because I misread the point
James Gutierrez
it doesn't matter if an album cover is disgusting to look at. the colour scheme, font etc makes me physically ill
Luke Long
No one cares about your anecdotal autism, stop sharing it.
It's pretty ignorant to call a cover designed to illustrate the music bad and call a white square 'better' despite it having no relevance to the work. I feel like you don't understand the music.
Josiah Perry
alternate
Jayden Howard
bumpin`
Justin Rogers
really digging this so far
Angel Long
thank you kind user, this is pretty great so far
Christian Ortiz
It sounds like if Sleaford Mods read Zizek
Jeremiah Brown
Much more akin to his earlier stuff than Pitiless Censors, which is a great thing
Jaxson Powell
yuck
Nolan Jones
yeah regressing is great
Hunter Martin
Touchdown is such a great track
Juan Gutierrez
Whoa really loving this so far
James Hughes
I love the prominent post-punky bass guitar, makes sense why he's touring with a live band now
Landon Hill
Pitiless Censors was a disappointment. Sure, better production and a bit of a stronger pop appeal, but the maniacal charm was just not really there at all.
frontloaded as fuck as well, with the majority of the tracks on the second half sounding unfinished or just being completely throwaway
Justin Cook
do you prefer Songs or Love is Real?
Xavier Martin
He had a set with Zola Jesus at this jazz club in Brooklyn a couple weeks back, his band was on point.
Sebastian Richardson
Wow, that would've been amazing
Anthony Nelson
this is probably my new favourite of his and definitely aoty
Austin James
this is a great comment. we need more people like you here
Ayden Martin
Love Is Real is his best for me
Joseph Wilson
i would've loved to see this
Benjamin Jenkins
ooh yeah
Ian Howard
just finished second listen, DEFINITELY gonna pick up the CD when it comes out
Jaxon Phillips
I love it. made an alt cover though because it sucks
Wyatt Turner
new meme?
Jose Fisher
bad art
made this because it's much better
Brandon Morgan
1. Ariel Pink connection
2. youtube.com
3. He's relentless
Hudson Parker
your alt covers are even worse
Luis Russell
The album might have been a bit underwhelming given all the slow building hype and focus on his modular rack, but I dare you to tell me Decide Decide and Bombs Away aren't 2 of the greatest songs of 2017.
Dominic Cooper
i cant comprehend how anyone could find it underwhelming it has some of his best songs on it
Juan Walker
It's potentially a symptom of the hype, but I was just expecting more energy from it. The Combine is such a triumphant energetic opener that I expected some of the mania of stuff like Love Is Real. I was also expecting some crazier synth work to match his energy because of the modular, but most of the synths sound like something you could pull off Omnisphere. I still love the album so far, and there's a clear evolution of sound, but at the same time it feels too demure for me. Maybe it's just Maus becoming calmed in his growing age
Samuel Fisher
Like what?
Tyler Young
touchdown decide decide and the combine
Liam Lopez
Over Phantom literally sounds like a Sleaford Mods tune
Justin Lee
Why does everyone call him a genius?
Cause he has a PHD?
Wow...
Andrew Scott
>Ctrl+F "genius"
only result
huh.....
Landon Turner
What's the quality?
