Avant-garde electronic veterans Mouse on Mars have not released a new album in six long years.
Next month will see the end of their hiatus as they return with their 10th studio album called Parastrophics, the follow up to 2006’s Varcharz.
The duo comprising Jan St Werner and Andi Toma recorded and mixed Parastrophics in Berlin over the last two years. They’ve used their own musical software developed originally for “Paeanumnion”, an orchestral-backed project.
In the words of Mouse On Mars, “Parastrophics is a thriving vision of the other side of experimental music. Discordance turns into pop as Alice in Wonderland bounces her booty to laser bass sounds, the likes of which would make Walt Disney jealously ponder the question, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” Parastrophics is glamorous, funky and deep. No speakers exist that could display all the details of such grand production.”
Parastrophics is due out on February 27th in Europe and a day later in the US via Modeselektor‘s Monkeytown Records.
Listen below to a sneak preview of “Wienuss” and “Syncropticians”, the fourth and sixth track off Parastrophics.
