Earlier this year, German electronic pioneers Mouse on Mars made their triumphant return via the release of new album, Parastrophics, on Monkeytown Records. A life affirming and constantly surprising album, crammed with ideas, exuberance, addictive detail and sheer kinetic energy,Parastrophics displays a beguiling sense of confidence and a subtle, yet persuasive sense of control and pace. Following the much-deserved, overwhelmingly positive response to Parastrophics, Mouse on Mars' Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma will return to North America this October for their first U.S. tour in six years. In addition to announcing the upcoming tour, Mouse on Mars is sharing the video for "They Know Your Name," premiered via PitchforkPfadfinderei edited this from video clips of cell biology research experiments made for the Laboratoire d'Hydrodynamique by Mouse on Mars' friend Charles Baroud.

WATCH/SHARE MOUSE ON MARS' "THEY KNOW YOUR NAME" VIDEO:

"They Know Your Name" is available on August 24th as a limited 7" single and download. The A-side features a reworking of the stand out track from Parastrophics featuring Dodo Nkishi, while the B-side hosts a remix by Machinedrum.  

"THEY KNOW YOUR NAME" STREAM:



Furthermore, come November 2nd, Mouse on Mars will release mini-album, WOWWOW is a buoyant, immediate and club-oriented counterpoint to Parastrophics, with Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma aiming their considerable technical finesse firmly in the direction of the dancefloor. It's a spontaneous reaction to all those hours of studio labor for Parastrophics, created from scratch in a matter of weeks, and released just nine months after its predecessor.  The record also makes much use of the wretchup, an iphone app that was invented by Mouse on Mars during preparations for their orchestral work Paeanumnion. The band went on to use wretchup effects on Parastrophics and on stage during their 2012 album tour - now they plan to make it available via iTunes around the time of the release of WOW
