About this item

While Flight Of The Conchords first hammered out their reputation from behind the relative safety of acoustic guitars, blithely billed as a 'folk comedy' act, nowadays their musical style runs rampant, unchecked. Judging from the range displayed on their sophomore album "I Told You I Was Freaky", Flight Of The Conchords have yet to unearth a genre which can withstand their artistry. Unflinching in their lyrical stance, sophisticated with their arrangements, crafting melodies which always lodge firmly in the frontal lobe: Flight Of The Conchords have here created 13 best-selling ringtones, humbly masquerading as songs. Their rhymes are fearless, their thesauruses dog-eared. Only cool, confident specimens of manhood such as these could drop three-dollar vocabulary busters like 'dungarees' and 'pantaloons' while still mesmerizing the ladies with their undulating "Sugalumps". Vivid imagery? Check: The ardent "Angels" should spur listeners to think twice the next time they consider catching a snowflake on their tongues. Better still, the amorous odyssey of the album's zenith, "We're Both In Love With A Sexy Lady", unfolds before the listener's very ears in real time; Flight Of The Conchords are making history.
