Background

The EP followed Puscifer’s 2007 debut album “V Is for Vagina”, maintaining the group’s tongue-in-cheek naming conventions. It was self-released through Puscifer Entertainment, emphasizing Keenan’s independent artistic vision outside his main bands, Tool and A Perfect Circle. The release showcases a mix of new material, remixes, and reinterpretations of previous tracks.

Music and Style

C Is for (Please Insert Sophomoric Genitalia Reference HERE) combines downtempo electronic beats, dark humor, and experimental production. Tracks such as “Polar Bear” and “The Mission (M Is for Milla Mix)” feature distinctive vocal collaborations, including actress Milla Jovovich. The EP’s sound reflects Puscifer’s characteristic balance of satire and atmospheric soundscapes.

Release and Reception

Initially made available digitally and through Puscifer’s official store, the EP received attention for its offbeat presentation and Keenan’s continued exploration of multimedia art. Critics noted its eclectic nature and playful defiance of mainstream expectations, reinforcing Puscifer’s identity as a creative outlet unbound by conventional rock formats.

Legacy

Though a minor entry in Puscifer’s discography, the EP bridges V Is for Vagina and later full-length releases like Conditions of My Parole. It remains a cult favorite among fans who appreciate the project’s surreal humor and experimental production ethos.
