John Maus

Screen Memories

[Domino]

John Maus’ music yields polarising opinions.

It was once suggested that the lo-fi lethargic avant-pop synth led arrangements were “engineered for minimal accessibility and maximum pretension.”

Screen Memories ends six years of silence characterised by a critical reappraisal of his output.

The focus of his latest album – brimming with baroque, modular synth designed – is devoted to the myriad of transportative sonic components which transport the listener to the soundtrack of futuristic game shows from the 1980s, in the best possible way.
