Description
Flight of the Conchords' 2008 self-titled debut album is back on LP with a limited-edition gold-vinyl pressing, limited to 1,000 copies!
This album followed their six-track Grammy Award-winning CDEP The Distant Future. Produced by Mickey Petralia (Beck Midnight Vultures, Ladytron Light & Magic) in Los Angeles, New York and Wellington, Flight of the Conchords features fully fleshed-out and professionally recorded versions of Flight of the Conchords concert favorites and highlights from their eponymous HBO series. The songs are heard here in expanded but reverent arrangements. Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement's trademark acoustic guitars lead the blitz, backed by a diverse array of instrumentation and production technique. And, the album sounds legitimate and musically, it's incredible, but, as Shakespeare said, "Does it funny?" Happily, yes. If amazing, delightful and hilarious is your idea of funny, then prepare for undisappointment! These 15 songs pay homage to Pet Shop Boys, censorship, Marvin Gaye, sexism, Shabba Ranks, and backhanded compliments. To be blunt, if you can't find a rire ou sourire in the FSL study guide of opening track, "Foux du Fafa," then, please notice, vous êtes malade.
