Album Notes

This ten-song debut collection from Victrola & the Duhst Bunnies is irreverent, unapologetic humor from edge to edge. On Duhmocracy Victrola explodes cultural myth, exposes dirty politicians, religious hypocrites and shameless media and tells tall tales of life under a Duhmocracy. Without pity she takes apart the corruption and stupidity one lyric at a time. Victrola, or Victoria Parks, has been a songwriter for the last 35 years. While Duhmocracy takes a hard left from her work in the past with serious traditional folk and folk rock, she now says "this is the time to show my silly, irreverent side. The times are extraordinary and the players on this world stage deserve lampooning in the worst way!"

Duhmocracy is a double shot of irony chased with a tall tale or two. The political satire aside, poking fun at modern romance in today's "marriage aftermarket" from a woman's point of view is Victrola's speciality with her new self-proclaimed genre, the "ex-husband song." "We have all been so played by corporate spin and a steady diet of pop poop, we barely know who we are anymore as men and women, as a culture, a society and a nation. I am here to remind everyone who we are and how we got here, and help them laugh it off while they are at it. Life is loud, laugh louder. You are smarter than they think!"
