Does he just sing to pre-recorded tracks at his shows? Seems kind of lame, IMO.

I have been listening to his new album and quite like a few of the tracks on there (like this one), but I would really like to know more about the recording process of his albums. To me, while many of his songs are good and exude a nice, dreamy atmosphere, I detect a little too much of that sort of hollow, insubstantial "chillwave" sound that could have been created in the bedroom of any 18 yr. old with a laptop.

@EgeBamyasi007 Basically, John Maus Live is more of a physical experience, rather than "a guy with a band". It's mental and fun and at times tender and emotional. But it is just him as a one man Karaoke over his own songs ;) That's his thing live. Recorded though he does spend some time getting things like he wants them. I prefer his first record. It was more obvious that he was taking all the cliché 80's sounds and shoving them together in his own unique way - by actually writing good songs.

@EgeBamyasi007 I love it because it really should't work at all, and if it was any one else it probably wouldn't! Watching him live though is just a hilarious and exhausting experience. He's a true antidote to the usual.

I want him to perform at my wedding.

@PluxQuba mmmm, but it's true that you can not really hear his voice. Just sometimes when he's screaming but actually you can just hear the pre-recorded music....it's a pity. i really love this one

@PluxQuba I think its pretty cool. he doesn't have to play any instruments to convey his ideas. alot of people rely on instruments too much, but saying that he does use some pretty interesting synth modules and delay pedals. plus the shure sm58. he totally owns it, what a massive guy. he's a giant living in our world.
