The 2017 album "Screen Memories" found John Maus doubling down on the hazy, maximalist synth-pop of his earlier work, prioritizing a raw, almost confrontational sonic intensity. The album eschews the more overtly melancholic ballads of previous efforts for a more rhythmically driven, and at times, abrasive sound.
- "Screen Memories" was self-produced by John Maus and recorded in his home studio in Kemps Creek, New South Wales, Australia.
- The album's lead single, "The Combine," was praised for its dense, driving synth lines and Maus's signature vocalizations.
- The release of "Screen Memories" was preceded by a six-year gap, during which Maus toured extensively and worked on various other projects.
