John MOuse Announces New Album 'Back to The Clubhouse'

Cardiff indie/synthwave/electronic artist John MOuse has announced the release of his seventh studio album ‘Back to The Clubhouse‘.

The 10-track record will be out on September 26 featuring his previously shared single “That’s Just the Way Our Love is“. Pre-order your copy here.

John Davies, who goes by the stage name John MOuse, was born out of Davies’ previous band JT Mouse, which featured members of Zabrinksi, The Spencer McGarry Season and Steven Black AKA Sweet Baboo.

His latest album, The Goat (2020), marked a departure from his previous works, creating an electronic synth pop record. His most recent project was The Fashion Weak, a development of the sounds forged for The Goat, with Pearce being the driving musical influence steering the production down the road of Thomas Dolby and other New Wave acts such as The Normal and OMD. The short lived project saw 3 singles, including collaborations with Gruff Rhys and Miki Berenyi.

Back to The Clubhouse, co-produced by Davies and JT Mouse member Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo), who also worked with him on his 2018 album Replica Figures, is an album bookended by two tracks depicting  the harsh realities of love. Everything sandwiched inbetween sees John delve into the rich lyrical themes including the absence of parental figures in “Twist Base Peacock Chair” and “Bad Babysitter”, the spilling of work into life and vice versa in “An Estimate Shows…” while “And Then Their Phone Goes” questions the invasion of other people’s private space into a public space – and who is ultimately is right?
