John Maus – Love Is Real (2007)

March 2, 2024

I feel like I’ve heard a thousand records like this yet John Maus truly still stands alone. Such a minimal, nonchalant approach to electronic pop is delivered with a shrug and a post-punk indifferent style of vocal, but it is a delivery that Maus well and truly makes his own with this record. This things is backloaded in my opinion, with the best tracks coming in the final third, rounding out with one of my favourite songs in any genre, the effortless “Times Is Weird”.
