The fictional band Mouse Rat from the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation – fronted by the character played by Chris Pratt – have released two new singles from their debut album, The Awesome Album, due to be released on August 27.

He later lives in the pit secretly in a tent after being broken up with by Ann Perkins, portrayed by Rashida Jones.
It comes with a cameo shoutout from actress Alison Becker, in character as the reporter from the show, Shauna Malwae-Tweep, reminiscing about her times reporting on the aforementioned pit.
