Biography

Flight of the Conchords couldn’t be here today. So they sent this bio—with their warmest regards—instead.

Oh, they wanted to join you in-person. Honest. But pop stardom requires non-stop commitment. One minute you’re launching a new signature fragrance or malt liquor, the next sharing tidbits of hard-earned wisdom with this season’s crop of American Idol contestants.

Product Description

BBC Review

Too popular to be considered a cult concern anymore, New Zealand comedy duo Flight of the Conchords have seen their rib-tickling, genre-spanning songs land them a successful show for Radio 2, two HBO television series and win a clutch of awards, including a Grammy for their Distant Future EP of 2007.

I Told You I Was Freaky is the second album from the pair of Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement, the follow-up to 2008’s generally well received eponymous debut, which featured songs from the first HBO series. Following suit, this collection compiles ditties from season two. With the songs in question more integrated into the narratives of said episodes, appreciating them without first seeing the shows might prove a struggle.

Existing fans are sure to appreciate the humorous asides, developed wordplay and excellent timing of McKenzie and Clement, whose sarcastic put-downs to each other can easily have the listener laughing aloud, above the sound of their headphones. But those who’ve avoided the Conchords to date (who are you, exactly?) will, largely, wonder what the fuss is about. You Don’t Have to Be a Prostitute, Sugalumps and Fashion is Danger seem shallow pastiches of Police-like pop-reggae, Timbaland-echoing squelch-hop and Pet Shop Boys electro respectively when taken out of context.

The band’s reluctance to stick to one particular type of instrumental backing for their skits means that I Told You I Was Freaky is a wildly inconsistent album tonally – but few will buy it for a complete-play experience, preferring to skip to their favourite bumpin’ and grindin’ (or folkin’ and strumin’, or fizzin’ and poppin’) sketches. The title track is a true highlight, showcasing wonderfully the Conchords’ penchant for lexically animated nonsense – Clement’s claim that he’s invited some ghosts over for a three-way just one giggle amongst many.

It’s not all complete silliness and songs about naughty bits and where our protagonists fancy putting them, though – Friends is a fairly sensitive number explaining why a man’s male friends are better than his female ones. Answer: because they let him drink more than one beer in a sitting. Okay, so the track is quite silly lyrically, but its sweet backing harmonies are truly lovely. Carol Brown is similarly subdued of arrangement and all the more delightful for it.

Newcomers: watch the show first. Fans: pick this up immediately, but do try not to embarrass yourself by laughing in public. --Mike Diver

Superb 7 Dec 2009
Format:Audio CD
What can I say. They are back and it's awesome. Not as instant as the first set of songs from the first series but genius all the same.

I love this album 29 Oct 2009
Format:Audio CD
Finally FOTC are releasing another album! Having watched Series 2 repeatedly over the last few months i'm so glad that they are releasing the soundtrack to go with it! Although this isn't quite as good as the first album, the songs are still really catchy and funny. Some of my favourites have to be Carol Brown and I told you i was freaky, as well as Too many dicks on the dancefloor - which although i didn't quite get it on the first listen, they soon become growers and are now firm favourites.

A must buy for any true FOTC fans. Fingers crossed this won't be their last album!

Freakily Fabulous 27 July 2010
Format:Audio CD
No disappointments here! Every bit as brilliant as their first album. Ace parodies, sparkling wit, and great musicianship with quality production. The lyrics are matched by superb backings, which make every track a first class creation, leaving the melodies in your head & the words on standby, waiting to pop into your consciousness during everyday conversations. From catchy Carol Brown to Sugalumps & Too Many Dicks (on the Dance Floor), you will be convulsed & concordant. This is a stand alone album; you don't need to have seen the series to appreciate the humour or the excellence of the delivery.

Flight are so funny but their music is so good too. Think this album is better than the first one but both are great. Wish they would do a third series

I bought the first CD & love the series. But I cannot understand why 2 of the best songs - "Sellotape" & "If you're into it" are not included anywhere? Read more
