Mouse on Mars to release 21 Again, featuring collaborations with eeevverybody

·

The German duo Mouse on Mars, a.k.a. Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma, have been around since 1993. That means that Mouse on Mars turn 21 this year! Don’t overdo it on the shots, guys (although I guess the legal drinking age in Germany is 18, not 21, but shhh).

Embracing a better way to celebrate than beer funnels, the industrial-electronic duo has announced 21 Again, a compilation that will feature various collaborations that the group has worked on in the past two decades. Guests include Helado Negro, Tortoise, Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier, Oval, and Yoshimi. Listen to a collab with Cavern of Anti-Matter (a.k.a. Tim Gane, ex-Stereolab) for a taste:

The double CD will be released by Monkeytown Records (who released Mouse on Mars’ most recent album, Spezmodia, in January) on October 31, so you can celebrate Halloween with some sweet, sweet IDM tunes. Pre-order here. The duo also will be holding a 21 Again Festival in Berlin on the same date.
