Mouse on the Keys

Tokyo-based instrumental music group. A trio featuring two keyboards/piano players and a drummer; known for blending jazz, post-rock and math-rock elements.

The group is an instrumental trio from Japan; reviews and press commonly note their mixture of jazz, post-rock and math-rock and highlight the prominent role of piano/keyboards and drums (Kawasaki is mentioned on drums in the review).

DeBaser hosts one substantial review of Mouse on the Keys, praising their technical skill and hybrid of jazz, post-rock and math influences. The review focuses on the album An Anxious Object and highlights the trio format (two keyboards, one drummer). Overall appreciation with vivid, ironic prose.

For:Fans of instrumental post-rock, experimental jazz, math rock, and adventurous listeners
