Our Take
Our Take
In a world where indie music reigns supreme, MOUSE RAT's latest offering, The Awesome Album, is a refreshing blast of pure unadulterated joy. This band, fronted by the one and only Andy Dwyer (yes, that Andy Dwyer from Parks and Recreation), has managed to create an album that is both hilarious and musically impressive.
From the opening track "5,000 Candles in the Wind (Bye Bye Li'l Sebastian)" to the closing notes of "The Pit (featuring Duke Silver)," MOUSE RAT takes listeners on a wild ride of catchy hooks and clever lyrics. Andy Dwyer's vocals are surprisingly strong, showcasing a range that is both impressive and unexpected.
The instrumentation on The Awesome Album is top-notch, with the band effortlessly blending rock, folk, and even a touch of jazz on tracks like "Sex Hair" and "Two Birds Holding Hands." The musicianship displayed throughout the album is truly impressive, proving that MOUSE RAT is more than just a gag band.
Lyrically, The Awesome Album is a treasure trove of witty one-liners and clever pop culture references. Tracks like "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Catch Your Dream" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy, relatable songs that will have you singing along in no time.
Overall, The Awesome Album is a must-listen for fans of indie music looking for something a bit different. MOUSE RAT has proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what they come up with next.

About the artist
Mouse Rat
Mouse Rat is the brainchild of Pawnee's very own Andy Dwyer, the loveable and somewhat clueless musician portrayed by Chris Pratt on the hit TV show "Parks and Recreation." Originally formed as a way for Andy to impress his on-again, off-again girlfriend April Ludgate, Mouse Rat quickly gained a cult following with their infectious brand of indie rock. Combining heartfelt lyrics with catchy melodies, Mouse Rat's music is equal parts whimsical and emotionally resonant. Their debut album, "The Awesome Album," is a standout in their discography, with tracks like "5000 Candles in the Wind" and "Sex Hair" showcasing Andy's songwriting prowess and the band's tight musicianship. However, Mouse Rat is not without their flaws. Andy's lack of musical training is apparent in some of the band's more experimental tracks, such as "Two Birds Holding Hands" and "Jazz Odyssey." While these songs may not be everyone's cup of tea, they speak to Mouse Rat's willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of the indie rock genre. Overall, Mouse Rat is a true gem in the music industry, bringing joy and laughter to fans around the world. With their infectious energy and undeniable charm, it's no wonder why Mouse Rat has become a household name in Pawnee and beyond.
