DOWNLOAD MP3: A Non-Corporeal Motorcade

The Mouse that Roared croons, shuffles, and drones to suggest a snapshot of a time or place where you can sit and drink coffee, meditating on the concept of becoming nothing. The core song-writing harkens back to British pop of the 1960's tempered with American folk sensibilities and 70's progressive rock (but without nearly as much pretentiousness).

Stephen Kozik (a.k.a. Cloister Maximus III) played drums for Minmae until setting out to craft his own songs and trade in the drum sticks for a guitar. After locking himself in a room for six months with nothing but The Beach Boys' lost Smile album and Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, The Mouse That Roared serves as his song writing vehicle and experimental sounding board for two part harmonies and catchy melodies.
