Mouse on Mars formed in 1993 when Andi
Toma, from Dusseldorf, and
Jan St. Werner, from Cologne,
met at a death metal concert and decided to form a band.
Their first release was a single "frosch"-
lfo/krautrock toytown toonz. So fresh were the sounds that critics
were at a loss for words: "One Man's thingy is another man's
wotsit." - melody maker.
Musically Mouse creates densely
layered tracks with the intended results being grounded in pop. Designed
to yield more with repeated listens, songs are minutely detailed.
Drum tracks, for example, often contain eight different layers- live
drums, programmed, digitally processed and various combinations and/or
mutations of the aforementioned. Fills and breaks are set, arranged,
and placed individually as opposed to being looped. The results are
rich, deep, wonderfully varied.
To quote Rob Young from the WIRE,
"Mouse tracks are lush mini adventures or sound movies in multiple
dimensions: densly layered vertically, constantly changing horizontally
in time, it's a fully articulated body of music."
They have produced records for Stereolab
and Kraftwerk’s Wolfgang
Flur, they made music for an ill-fated Tony
Danza film, and worked on music with the High
Llamas.
Mouse On Mars have paved the way
for a continuously growing gang of German and international sound
villains to weave analogue and digital, electronic and non-electronic
sounds in a totally new, organic fabric. Not without reason have great
swarms of independent and other tinkerers, post-, kraut- and general
rockers, poppers, techno types and avant-garde scoundrels included
this darned modern stuff in their daily menu. |
