Like all successful producing-duos Mouse on Mars met under dubious circumstances. According to their website they met at a health food store in 1993 in the Cologne and Düsseldorf area. Ever since Mouse on Mars managed to bridge the gap between experimental productions and music that is suited for clubs, resulting in tours in Japan, the United States, Europe and India, as well as in remixes for New Wave icon Anne Clarke. In 2000, Mouse on Mars founded sonig to create an outlet for their own music as well as for like-minded artists such as Schlammpeitziger or Lithops.

For the past few years it seemed as if Mouse on Mars were content with their status as glitch-punk godfathers and eternal festival headliners. Along comes 'Parastrophics', Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner's tenth studio album since 1994 and their first full-length since 2006's 'Varcharz'.

For the duo's many fans this is great news in itself, but delivered via Modeselektor's ultra-hip Monkeytown imprint 'Parastrophics' also marks a change in context as well as a thorough reinvention of MoM's unique brand of quirky, experimental electronica pop.

Guitar feedbacks and breakbeat samples are a thing of the past. They are replaced with sharp drum beats and heavy synth leads more akin to Hudson Mohawke and Mokeytown label-mate Siriusmo than to previous MoM albums. It wouldn't be Mouse on Mars however if each track wasn't intricately adorned with a puzzling amount of edits and digital effects, resulting in an acoustic density that makes 'Parastrophics' stand out as a labyrinthine and ultimately thoroughly rewarding listening experience.
