Description
Flight of the Conchords set the bar high after their self-titled debut album. The new one, "I Told You I Was Freaky", does not disappoint. The "4th most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" from New Zealand has fans from all over the world due to its popular show on HBO and enticing musical humor.
"I Told You I Was Freaky" is a compilation of gems from the second HBO season. In "Hurt Feelings", we find they're posing as rappers who entertain with the unlikely rhyme pairing, "I feel like a prize asshole" with "No one even mentions my casserole." Oh the tears of a rapper!
"Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor" treats listeners to a techno-pop version of Jermaine and Bret. "Make sure you know before you go, the dance floor bro-hoe ratio. 5 to 1 is a brodeo." It's every man's disco nightmare. My favorite song is "Carol Brown". We hear the lamenting of a man over his lost loves. A chorus of old girlfriends chimes in, explaining why he's an ex. At one point he sings, "Shut up girlfriends from the past."
"I Told You I Was Freaky" may be the last album pitched by
Flight of the Conchords. With the frenetic pace the band has needed to maintain, the possibility of burnout is high. But for now, there's plenty to relish.
