Screen Memories

John Maus

Frosty, reverb-drenched synth-pop recorded in rural isolation. A collection of existential anthems delivered in a booming, haunted baritone.

It sounds like a very smart man having a breakdown in a room full of 80s synthesizers.

A cold, intellectual intensity balanced by moments of nihilistic humor and existential dread.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The ominous, slow-burning synth brass that opens The Combine like a digital funeral march.
The jarring, repetitive chant of 'your pets are gonna die' on track 9 that turns a morbid truth into a catchy anthem.
The way the reverb swallows the vocals on Edge of Forever, making Maus sound like he is shouting from the bottom of a well.
