LATER THAN YOU THINK

Description

A 21st-century philosopher-musician, John Maus has acquired a mythical reputation for his fierce belief in the emotional weight of sound, his eccentric interpretations of pop and baroque, and his legendary and cathartic concerts that reveal the "hysterical body." A symbol of creative independence, philosophical depth, and artistic extremism, Maus has forged a unique path, using music as a space for ontological and spiritual struggle, creating a space where irony, sorrow, joy, and absurdity can coexist. His new opus 'Later Than You Think' on the British label YOUNG condenses the different eras of his career—from minimalist synth-punk to opulent avant-pop—into 16 tracks, while continuing to explore new sonic territories. His pieces contain multitudes: lush and stripped-down, sacred and profane, dissonant and harmonious. At the heart of this turmoil, one thing is clear: John Maus's music insists on the power of authentic emotion and radical sincerity. Deeply engaged in the crisis of modern life, he yearns for truth and transcendence in an era where cynicism, alienation, and political decay are the norm. 'Later Than You Think' is a radical awakening fueled by faith, acceptance, and the conviction that time matters.
