Released in February on Monkeytown Records, Parastrophics forms the foundation for Mouse On Mars’ first U.S. tour in six years. Recently released is the video for “They Know Your Name.” Edited by Berlin-based design collective Pfadfindereim, the video features clips of cell biology research experiments made for the Laboratoire d’Hydrodynamique by Mouse On Mars friend Charles Baroud.

But wait, there’s more. Come Nov 2 Mouse On Mars will release a mini album, a club-oriented effort called WOW, described as a “spontaneous reaction” to all the time the group spent recording Parastrophics.
