Writers
have compared Dufus’ folk-punk cacophonic prog-ditties to Captain
Beefheart, The Fugs, Frank Zappa, Ween, Mr. Bungle, Moldy Peaches, Mozart,
The Band, The Strokes, John Zorn, Dead Kennedys, Need New Body, The B-52s,
Gong and The Muppets. While these comparisons are too eclectic to give
a real clue as to Dufus’ sound, they are a testament to Dufus’
extraordinary musical vision.
Ball
of Design is a record full of anger and hope. Much darker, more epic,
and undoubtedly more political than their last album, 1:3:1, Ball of Design features a more focused Dufus—both figuratively
and literally. Dufus has gone from fifteen members to a fit five: Strictly
Beats on drums, Rick on guitar, Marko on bass, Lucas Crane phd on analog
arts (probably the best tape deck-ist in the universe) and mastermind
Seth Faergolzia on vocals and guitar. This is hippie death metal that
is changing the world.
On Ball of Design, Dufus choose to eschew some of their more wacky
leanings—no jocks carrying dildos or more girl cops. Nope, this
time you, the listener, are asked to forget all you think you know, about
music, about your life, to “set aside your idiot for a minute”
and pay attention to a great rock record.
Dufus’
last record, 1:3:1 (RUSCD 8283) garnered some amazing attention.
What the media touches on, again and again, is that Dufus is making music
that is not only different, but important to us as human beings—not
coincidentally Seth is writing a spiritual doctrine/ religion called the
Non-Church of the Complete Disassemblement of Reality, which would make
him a guru of sorts. Or as one writer put it, Dufus is making music “that
could potentially change a listener’s life.” Hot damn!
Praise
for Dufus’ previous release 1:3:1:
“Ecstatic stuff…this is an important record with an undeniably
unique vision…a hell of a foundation for something larger and stranger
and still farther off. C’mon, my fellow animals—start howling.”
—SplendidEzine.com
“Listening
to Dufus is like being thrust into a child’s drawing…It’s
capable of changing the world.” —City Hub (Au)
“…A textured and intense opera…thank you, come again
kid. 9 of 10.” —Vice Magazine
“1:3:1
is the kind of record that could potentially change a listener's life.”
—All Music Guide
“Like
an encyclopedia of so-called outsider music condensed into a Downtown
pagan mystery meeting. Dufus’s recent “1:3:1” is the
most unironically anarchic album I’ve heard all year. As giddy and
inventive as it is pissed-off, it’s the 21st –century equivalent
of the Fugs at their finest.” —Richard Gehr, Village Voice
