Mouse on Mars is a German electronic music duo formed in 1993 by Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma.
Their music is a blend of electronic genres including IDM, dub, krautrock, breakbeat and ambient, featuring heavy use of organic analog synth and cross-frequency modulation.
Sean Cooper of AllMusic stated that it is "a wibbly, barely digital match of ambient texturology with experimental strains of techno, dub, and Krautrock.
[4] Mouse on Mars regularly perform live as a three-piece, with Toma & St. Werner augmented by drummer Dodo NKishi.
[9] The duo collaborated with Mark E. Smith of The Fall, firstly on the Wipe That Sound EP in 2004, and then forming the band Von Südenfed in 2007.
The album marked the duo's first recorded collaboration with the vocalist Dao Anh Khanh, producer Eric D. Clarke and the punk band, Las Kellies.
