Led by former Mean Reds frontman—as well as Dan Monick’s DJ partner and all-round inscrutable visionary Anthony Anzalone, Mikki and the Mauses begin where the Maels brothers or Mark Mothersbaugh would begin too if they’d been impressionable pubescents isolated in the Arizona desert with mind-debriding Disney visuals, thunderstorms every single day for 90 days and a hardcore punk scene well used to dragging a generator out between the cacti. The seven songs on The Problem With Male Sexuality—released digitally and as a VHS on White Noise; watch it with your parents!—alternate between furred-over lo-fi noise-punk a la GSL and 31G and cheerful but cracked pop songs like Sparks and Devo. (Or like Brian Eno if he didn’t know how to write songs, adds Anthony.)Why VHS? “Because I’m a dick,” says Anzalone when we call him up and surprise him by asking a bunch of questions. “There is something romantic about finding new uses for essentially trash. And I understand not being wanted.” Why Mikki and the Mauses? Because it’s a beautiful world we live in and it’s nice to be alive!
