I Told You I Was Freaky Cd

Description

While Flight of the Conchordsfirst 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 Conchordshave 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 Conchordshave 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 Conchordsare making history, and You!

Are! There! I Told You I Was Freakyis, among a great many other things, a genre-tripping tour de force and includes three songs from the second series of their popular and award-winning/nominated HBO TV show which are otherwise as yet unreleased (''Rambling Through the Avenues of Time,'' ''Too Many Dicks (On the Dance Floor)'' and ''You Don't Have to Be a Prostitute'').
