Kraus (also known as Pat Kraus, formerly known as Prince Kraus[1]) is a New Zealand experimental musician and composer. The New Zealand Listener called him "a national treasure" and "one of the most quietly important and interesting people making music in New Zealand".[2] His music crosses the boundaries of electronic music, post-rock,[3] no wave,[4] space folk,[5] noise pop, punk rock and martian stomp.[6]
