| Billing itself as New Zealand's "fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo a cappella-rap-funk-comedy duo," Flight of the Conchords has already begun to take the U.S. by storm. Sub Pop is releasing the second album of the duos folk-comedy stylings, The Distant Future, which is expected to be, like the artists themselves, funny in a not so obnoxious way, and perhaps vindicated a great deal by those lovable accents and, in a first for comedy, humility.

Notes & Personnel Info |  | Flight Of The Conchords: Jemaine Clement, Bret McKenzie. | | While the Flight of the Conchords--a.k.a. New Zealand comedian/musicians Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie--first garnered U.S. attention with their self-titled HBO TV series, the "folk-parody" duo made its recording debut in August 2007 with THE DISTANT FUTURE EP. Issued on Sub Pop, the six-track outing offers both studio and live samplings of the Conchords' Tenacious D-like wackiness, as best revealed on the style parody "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," a slacker "slow jam" filled with awkward attempts at seduction. |
Producer: Flight Of The Conchords; Mickey Petralia |
| | Artist Overview | | Flight of the Conchords is the name of a musical comedy duo from New Zealand. Actor-musicians Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement play, under their own names, hapless singer-songwriters attempting to make it big in the eat-or-be-eaten music world. Built around spot-on style parodies that spoof a diverse array of artists and genres--everything from David Bowie, Belle & Sebastian, and the Pet Shop Boys to loverman R&B, cabaret, and Rat Pack pop--Flight of the Conchords was a popular BBC radio program before evolving into a cult TV show on HBO. The group released the EP DISTANT FUTURE on Sub Pop in 2007. |
