Maus Haus are a San Francisco sextet who obviously aren't photogenic, but have opened my eyes and ears to their experimental efforts of freaky electro post-rock on their debut full-length, Lark Marvels. Recorded over the last year in San Francisco, the album's 12 songs contain a variety of modes, often recalling rhythm-shifting 60s psych pop a la Captain Beefheart , krautrock, avant jazz, and a ramshackle of electronic sounds, all mastered by Roger Seibel (Tortoise, !!!, Coco Rosie, Pit er Pat, Elliot Smith). Our featured "Rigid Breakfast" brings to mind a liftoff into an underground labratory with an inception of a robot gone extremely bad. Here's to considering it.
