from the album BESTO 2019

The Metro feels compressed tonight, like it’s holding its breath, pacing itself. John Maus is back in Australia for the first time since 2019, and there’s a sense that whatever happens next won’t sit quietly. Before that, Romy Church, performing as e4444e, works through a set of fragile vocals and flickering electronic textures. At times, it brushes up against something unexpectedly familiar — a warped echo of The Beach Boys buried in the harmonies — before slipping away again. The crowd is noticeably young, attentive from the outset, and when he finishes they don’t let it end there, calling him back until he returns for one more song.

from the album Screen Memories

from the album Later Than You Think

John Maus has announced his first Australian tour since 2019, returning with a live show shaped by the release of Later Than You Think and a renewed creative focus.
