Watch the video for the closing track from John Maus’ upcoming We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves. I’ve got to say, there is something sad and beautiful about this combination of sound and visual, the way that so many elements — Maus’ affected voice, psychedelic digital color manipulation, the tiny drum machine, manic synth lines — all fail to obscure how soaring of a pop song “Believer” is.
