John Maus’ synthpop has always been haunted by past futures, but never has he exorcised these with the finesse displayed on Screen Memories from 2017 . Similiar to the sounds his custom-built modular synth outputs, the typography on the cover overlays and almost flickers, turning Helvetica into proto-grunge Shatter in a way that is both painfully obvious and yet darkly eerie.
