MEGA-PRAISE FROM GOOD WRITERS
"Lots of bands claim it, but San Francisco's Maus Haus really does straddle genres and skirt categorization. The sextet's debut record, Lark Marvels, shows it can combine loads of electronics with live instrumentation to deliver a sound that's part Krautrock, part surf, part noise, part pop, part dance, and part (insert whatever you like here). But if the band's music can't easily be pinned down, one simple word sums up its live show: breathtaking. The members of Maus Haus execute instrumental gymnastics in a way that won't soon leave your memory." — Patric Fallon, SF Weekly
"You wouldn't be off base to consider San Francisco's Maus Haus one of the brightest hopes in the city's avant/indie realm. Picture Brian Wilson meeting Marcel Duchamp and departing together, arm in arm, to plan pocket symphonies. Chunky rhythms, sassy brass, baroque synths, and well-placed "whoos" animate, for instance, "Dead Keys Drop," as the combo yelps, "Your speed is not like our speed! La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Ride a bullet like a banshee!" from an imagined perch "on a stereo, cursing the opposite of street." Just my speed – I'm betting these fellows won't remain a mousy secret for long."--Kimberly Chun, 7x7
"As on record, the music evoked a flurry of references from the past 60 years of popular music without falling into stylistic mimicry. Instead the familiarity generated an immediate connection and comfort, while fresh, original use made the content actually interesting."--Bijan Rezvani, NYC PBS
"Lark Marvels comes close to being this decade's late entry Trout Mask Replica (if Battles' Mirrored had been the Freak Out!), a collection of smooth electronic transitions (Radio Dials Die), Atari-accented Devo rock (Reaction) and stuttered electronic rhythms (Irregular Hearts).As Mirrored brought a variation of progressive music to a new and creative peak, Lark Marvels has erected a scaffold and created a new apex, if that seemed possible, adding a one to what many probably thought was "infinity.'"--Sean Caldwell, No Ripcord
"It's the barn-burning locomotive of "Zig Zag" that really caught my ear. This jam is all over the place and it bounces from thundering drums to plinking xylophone to soaring horns all under hushed and whirling vocals. The thing even closes out with a string section. Pretty much something for the whole family here. Road trip!"
--The Burning Ear
