A Collection of Rarities and Previously Unreleased Material

by John Maus

Bridging the gap following his critically acclaimed 'We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves', this carefully curated anthology gathers over a decade of John Maus's obscure cassette recordings and discarded studio outtakes. The collection reinforces his mastery of nostalgic, lo-fi synthesizer textures and intensely emotional, highly reverberated vocal deliveries. Far from a throwaway B-sides collection, it is widely regarded as a remarkably cohesive extension of his hypnagogic pop catalog.
