Mice Parade is the solo project of Adam Pierce, formerly a member of the low-fi pop band Swirlies and co-founder of [a12536]. His music, although it sounds electronic, actually relies very little on samples. Instead, Pierce plays all the instruments himself and records them live in one take. Albums like Mokoondi and Ramda showcase his skill as a multi-instrumentalist.
With roots in both indie rock and electronic music, Mice Parade creates a unique sound that combines elements from both genres. The result is a captivating blend of organic instrumentation and intricate melodies that captivate listeners.
Pierce's dedication to creating music without relying heavily on electronics sets him apart from other artists in the genre. His albums are filled with rich textures and layered arrangements that highlight his talent as a musician.

Out of print for the last 15 years, 2005's "Bem-Vinda Vontade" is Mice Parade's best-selling album. At a time when music sales were still physical, it sold 30,000 copies worldwide. Since then it's racked up 1.5 million streams on Spotify in the US alone, a million of those from the album's only single "Night's Wave," which also has 250k Youtube views, and the original vinyl pressing has sold for nearly $100 on Discogs in recent years. It's a modern classic, an important release cited as influential by countless artists and bands, but long missing from store shelves.

Now it's back on Clear Vinyl, in a very limited release of 500 copies. Stereolab's ultra rare remix of the album's first track, "Warm Hand In Farmland," is included with the download card, as a digital bonus to this "Anniversary" edition pressing.
