WOW is an EP by German electronic music duo Mouse on Mars. It was released on Monkeytown Records in 2012.

Production

According to its press release, WOW was recorded within "just a few weeks" and will offer a more "club-oriented counterpoint to [their previous album] Parastrophics".[1] It features guest appearances from Dao Anh Khanh, Eric D. Clarke, and Las Kellies.[2]

Critical reception

Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork gave the EP a 7.0 out of 10, saying, "WOW lacks the gut-punch energy of Parastrophics, but it's still an enjoyable twist on what else can be done with the already malleable world of bass music; once again Mouse on Mars refuse to stay in one place, but they almost always head somewhere interesting."

Personnel

Credits adapted from liner notes.
