Peter Stampfel has been pushing the boundary of American music since the 60’s. Best known for his work as one half of The Holy Modal Rounders, a founding member of The Fugs, collaborative albums with Jeffery Lewis and Baby Gramps, and appearances on Michael Hurley, Yo La Tengo and They Might Be Giants albums. On Better Than Expected, Stampfel further pushes the boundary asking the question, “How many banjos can play simultaneously with turning into musical slop?” And answering it with a psychedelic sixteen track album that is as beautiful as it is strange.
