Album Description

dufus has been compared favorably and often to both Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band and to Frank Zappa, but also to Mr. Bungle & Ween, for whom they recently opened, and even to Modest Mouse side-project Ugly Casanova. And like these previous bands, within the music is a severe tension in constant jeopardy of hurtling out of control: aggressive & nurturing, chaotic & structured, solitary & social, and, of course, anti & folk—dufus is all these things. I once heard Suicide described as "dumb-genius" and while I felt the comment unfair it came close to describing the visceral content of Suicide. The same goes here. It is genius, yet there is something so pure about this album, something so subconscious that one gets the feeling it has arrived directly from the womb of some large and intricate beast.

Earfshattering.......2006-04-10

This album changed my life. Literally. "Donnah Mattr" convinced me to quit my 9-5 office job, pack up my things, and leave NYC to pursue my art somewhere out in the hills. I've never looked back...

All Music Guide said this album has the potential to change a young listener's life. I'm living proof it has.

thank goodness..........2004-12-20

yes. thank you.
i'm so glad people still take the time to make original music. the market is so saturated with the same old thing it's hard to find "real" music out there. the business people, who are very good at what they do, are always going to take their money and be safe. why would they gamble on some lanky guy with a strange voice that dresses in yarn?
if you've found this record you're one of the lucky ones. keep listening until you find all pop radio for what it is: just another un-clever, unwanted commercial.
hooray for dufus!

Dufus - '1:3:1' (Roir).......2004-10-17

Does Roir seem to release some fun music or what?It might be tough to describe Dufus's music.'1:3:1' features fourteen quite 'entertaining' tracks.I guess one MIGHT call '1:3:1' out-of-control,friendly,humorous,foward and a bit challenging.The best cuts are "Jahflooey",the witty "More Girl Cops",the acoustic,yet quirky "Deepr N Lov","Making Go Crazy/Real" and "Fire".Wanted to mention that there are also a couple of tunes here that are just down right strange,"Little Bitta Reggae" and "Wooden Ghost Stuff".Dufus is music for misfits and outcasts of the world today.Sounds sort of like maybe Frank Zappa(R.I.P.) with a couple of members of Gong backing him up.Should appeal to fans of Mothers Of Invention,Captain Beefheart and Ween.

Dufus Rocks and Seth is a genius. see video at punkcast.com

who does this thing?.......2004-02-02

I can not believe how deeply this album rocked me. It
was like all the questions in my life had come to a
breaking point, the dam busted, and dufus was the
flood which ensued. There are some people in this
world who are normal, some who are good, some who are
exceptional, and some who go beyond any expectation
you could ever have. Those are the people who get called
angels or saints or prophets of peace. These
people, whoever they are, they dont know the difference
between dream and reality, they have no idea what they
