2009, ROIR
From the love and anxious amazement a parent feels for their firstborn to the feelings of frustration and desperation at a static society, to more whimsical topics like passing gas and the musical properties of felt, Dufus' In Monstrous Attitude leaves no stone unturned in its exploration of the human experience. Although they have already influenced many a band in the freak-folk/anti-folk scene (Moldy Peaches, Man Man, USAisamonster and Akron Family), this is perhaps Dufus' most inspiring work to date. It is a perfect mixture of their signature chaotic, childlike compositions (which critics have compared to the mastermind experimentations of Captain Beefheart, Zappa, Ween and Mr. Bungle) and passionate, crescendo-ing melodies that leave you gasping for breath with every twangy note.
In Monstrous Attitude lives up to its name; it's a monstrous work that cannot be ignored. One way or another, Dufus will get under your skin and into your brain.
