Puscifer

Tool and A Perfect Circle frontman—not to mention winemaker of note—Maynard James Keenan tries his damnedest to present his theatrical solo project, Puscifer, as a jokey lark, but in recent years the outfit has progressed to the point that it deserves to be taken as seriously as any of his other work. Puscifer's latest, Conditions of My Parole, is a dark, exceedingly crafty art-pop statement.
