John Maus to release new album

On the 27th of June John Maus will be releasing his new album, curiously titled We Must Become The Pitiless Censors of Ourselves. The eleven track album will be released by Upset the Rhythm in Europe and by Ribbin Music in the USA.

One of the tracks is titled ‘Hey Moon’. The thing about the moon is, whenever you have a plan, it just doesn’t listen. So you say, Hey, Moon, I’ve got a plan, but whereas the sun is listening and saying, Now, come on, I would like to hear this plan, your eyes still go to the moon because we are always looking for approval from the one that won’t give it. It is one of the reasons why the Americans thought, let Russia have the first man in space, but let us go to the moon, and then we can try and convince him of our plans from up close, and if that doesn’t help, throw little rocks at him to annoy him until he says All right already, geez. People say that is how the disappearing of a truckload of boulders and the passing of the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977 are linked.
