If the only thing better than “Candle In The Wind” is “5,000 Candles In The Wind,” then the only thing better than Mouse Rat being a fake band on “Parks and Recreation” is Mouse Rat being a real band, fronted by Chris Pratt in real life. It’s happening, and their first album is coming.

Mouse Rat — who, according to their official Instagram page, is managed by April Ludgate-Dwyer — will spread their wings and fly on “The Awesome Album,” which is set to drop on August 27. We have Tom Haverford’s (Aziz Ansari) Entertainment 720 to thank for this album, as they’ve partnered up with Dualtone Music Group to make the album happen.
