Friday - Day#3:
The Serfs:
Emerging like a missile from some surreptitious silo in southwestern Ohio, The Serfs are a
deliberately nebulous and incidentally industrialist gang of dance-floor hymners-- perturbed and
tranced-out troubadours whose sound and musical ideology seems to be a causal manifestation of
their immediate environments--hard-wired and hypnotic synthesized melodies propel alongside
churning and scraping percussion of every metallic tonality--with temperamental and eremitic words
and voices dictating the forlorn venture. Like their Ohio predecessors, The Serfs seem askew from
the art that surrounds them, and proud of it.

Saturday - DAY #4:
John Maus
John Maus is a truly enigmatic musician. Broadly cut from the synth pop cloth, he’s fashioned the frosty minimalism of its fabric into a cloak of infinite meaning, genuine grace and absurdist humor over the course of three defining albums since 2006. His music is a highly mutable affair, whilst often described as retro-futurist on behalf of the 80’s drum machines and synth sounds employed, John’s music is more personal than the nostalgic re-tread implied. There’s a cinematic quality to his songs, with pathos conjured through propelling bass-lines, trailing arpeggios and of course his deeply resonant vocal. Moroder helped map out the territory but Maus is more interested in seeking cadence through his love of Renaissance polyphony and the experimentation behind post punk. It’s an amalgamation of musical ideas as radical as its intent.
Maus is a ‘man out of time’ trying to make sense of the inhumanity of our world through his mobilisation of the language of punk rock. His aim is true as he reaches for the seemingly impossible. It’s a want to emerge as part of greater multiplicity, to appear, to become, to connect that powers his songs and the man himself.
