• Released in 2011, We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves is the third album by experimental pop artist John Maus. Merging lo-fi synth-pop with philosophical and existential themes, the album blends catchy, vintage-sounding melodies with haunting vocals and a sense of eerie introspection. Songs like Streetlight, Believer, and Hey Moon showcase Mauss knack for emotional depth within minimalist arrangements. The album marked a turning point in his career, bringing his underground sound to a wider audience and earning critical acclaim for its strange, sincere intensity.
