DUFUS

Dufus is an American Anti-Folk band, led by Seth Faergolzia since 1997. The band is known (affectionately) for their revolving door membership, where they may start one tour with two members, and the next with upwards of twenty. Seth Faergolzia (Seth Hebert) is the mainstay of the group but sometimes tours as a solo artist. He is also a sculptor, clothing designer and author. While he remains an anonymous executive shunning publicity or recognition at a faceless multinational corporation, he is nevertheless The Most Ascended Master, the original Retriever of Jehovah's Message on Earth and basic model of the Archetype SubGenius. The music itself is difficult to pin down, as it is primarily experimental in nature, but still manages to maintain a melodic centre. Justin Cober-Lake, in his 1:3:1 review for PopMatters puts it simply, "If all this sounds crazy to you, you're on the right track."
