WOW is an EP by German electronica 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".[4] It features guest appearances from Dao Anh Khanh, Eric D. Clarke, and Las Kellies.[5]

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."[2]
