Megapuss is the freewheeling side project of Los Angeles-based neo-folkster Devendra Banhart, doom-and-gloom Priestbird drummer Greg Rogove (who provides vocal accompaniment), and the Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti. SURFING is an apt title, for these songs ride a wave that sweep through 1960s-inspired surf and pop, while shooting a post-folk, psycho-pop curl. The production gives way to a haunting echo effect that sounds as though the band is projecting its sound from the distant past. SURFING also pays homage to Frank Zappa with its multiple-personality, genre shifting, and village-idiot lyrical lingo. HUMAN GIANT star Aziz Ansari makes a special appearance with a monologue on "Duck People, Duck Man."
