Friday 05.13.11: Echo & Club Underground present JOHN MAUS / GENEVA JACUZZI/ HOLY SHIT @ Echo


JOHN MAUS || Listen || Watch
John Maus has been described by his sometime collaborator Ariel Pink as “a tortured evangelist on a mercenary quest to rid our world of the villainous defilers of The Gospel of True Love”. Whether the Animal Collective and Haunted Graffiti lynchpin is successful in that quest is debatable, but it’s certainly true that the intensely intellectual musician-cum-artist-cum-scientist-cum-philosopher spans multiple disciplines in his attempt. When he’s not leaping up and down shouting over his mashed-up electronic punk compositions he is busy lecturing students in political philosophy or extracting alkaloids in a makeshift lab. We caught up with him this weekend at Jean Nouvel’s Serpentine Pavilion, where his Fluxus-esque performance of the monumentally weird album Love Is Real witnessed as many people scratching their heads in disbelief as it did those cheering him on.Dazed Digital


Geneva Jacuzzi || Listen || Watch
Famous for her video with Ariel Pink and born from the whims of emotionally detached divas, Geneva Jacuzzi seduces listeners into submission with the touch of her vintage velvet glove. Her companion to the previously posted “Bad Moods,” the glittering italo dream “Do I Sad?” is peppered with high-rise synths, pitch shifted one-shot vocal samples, and imaginitive production reminiscent of Ariel’s early material while not aping his style.Altered Zones
