here's an aptly titled track to illuminate this gloomy Good Friday, Believer from Minnesota-based post-punk/synth wave provocateur John Maus off his forthcoming album "We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves" (2011).
Believer is a baroque-tinged, epic New Romantic track, it is an incredibly uplifting et life affirming song, heightened with soaring synth washes et ringing bells, pulsing, driving bassline et the impassioned reveb-laden vocals of Maus, it sounds as if he is delivering his message from another galaxy where he has found peace et prosperity. Believer acts as Maus' call to arms, to join him in embracing life et to not despair, even if you are living an isolated existence in a remote lighthouse, similar to the one that adorns the cover of his new album. enjoy!!!
