Call your band something like Dustmuffin & the Aluminum Cans and I’ll bet you will have my personal attention in no time. It’s a name that stands for fun, humour and a attitude that does care shit about what people think. Off course we have to question ourselves if I would like your music, but I can say that Dustmuffin passes even this test without worries. He gives the world strange minimal wave with waltzes, Moogs and dysfunctional lyrics. Lyrics about creeping and crawling things called The Crumbs, the niceness of the Hiphop-heart of Dustmuffin, the United States of America and feelings made possible with soup. To make it easy we can say the entire world of Dustmuffin passes by within forty-five minutes (and a bit more)

Now does the title of the album gives the distinct feeling it’s a collection of songs we are holding in our hands and we couldn’t be more right. The album really is nothing more than a collection of songs by Dustmuffin & the Aluminum Cans. Songs which where recorded between the short period of fifteen years on tapes and wax cylinders, then presumably been destroyed in a fire and recovered again. The story sounds to beautiful not to mention, but because it is nothing more then a collection of songs the album lacks a body. It nothing more than a random collection of songs, and Dustmuffin deserves better. The music is cheer brilliant in it simplicity. Frankly everyone should listen one Dustmuffin song a day, just one track to give the day a bit of more glance. One song to accompany your cornflakes and you go out smiling.

But I’m forgetting the video’s the album is holding. There are moving pictures, little video’s made for five tracks featured on the album. Little specks of happiness one only can see on the computer, but this inconvenience only contributes to the feelings Dustmuffin carries with him and his songs. Sunshine in a cardboard box, cornflakes with a smile on a sunny Sunday morning. The only thing it’s missing is a feeling of consistency, the album isn’t an album and that makes the cornflakes a bit gloomy.
