Radical Connector (2004)

Mouse On Mars
Reviewed by Nancy Miller | Aug 20, 2004

Details Release Date: Aug 24, 2004; Lead Performance: Mouse On Mars; Genre: Electronic

So there’s Danger Mouse, Modest Mouse, and, of course, Mouse on Mars. What’s up with the infestation of rodent-themed bands? Fortunately, the German electronica duo’s eighth LP Radical Connector is worth more than a nibble. Sexy robot vocals slip and slide all over juicy squeals, raindrop plops, and jungle-thick beats, making MOM sound like the Basement Jaxx on Miracle-Gro. Better bring a Weedwacker to the dance floor.
