It's called 'The Awesome Album' Published May 19, 2021 It's been over six years since Parks & Recreation went off the air (although the cast reunited for a COVID-19 TV special last year), but like so many other Michael Schur shows, the characters continue to live rent-free in fans' heads. As such, there's certainly an audience for The Awesome Album — the debut LP from the fictional band Mouse Rat. For those who don't remember, Mouse Rat was a yarling butt rock band fronted by Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt). While they were considered a joke on the show, they've somehow managed to piece together enough material for a 15-track album. Not too bad!
