Review

John Maus has spent twenty years carving out a lane all his own, and *Later Than You Think* rolls into town like a neon-lit sermon for the end times. Clocking in at sixteen tracks, the album toggles between adrenalized synth sprints and moments that feel like urgent whispers through a megaphone—think melancholy with a shot of espresso. You can practically hear the academic scribbles in the margins of every song; Maus layers reverb-drenched vocals over pulsing electronics until the whole thing hums with the weight of a half-remembered ritual.

The standouts—‘Because We Built It,’ ‘I Hate Antichrist,’ and ‘Theotokos’—feel less like individual cuts and more like scenes in a fever dream you can’t pause. Short, sharp, and packed with cryptic one-liners, each track lands like a punchline you’re still trying to parse days later. It’s the kind of record that refuses to sit still, balancing hooky immediacy with the kind of experimentation that makes you lean in closer, wondering what just hit you. - Calder
