Headphone Check : Flight of the Conchords – The Distant Future EP

Wired magazine describes FoC as a mashup of TenaciousD and Rushmore. And even though their ground breaking HBO series has ended , you can still enjoy the musical stylings of this New Zelander folk duo on your favorite mp3 playback device. The EP is extremely funny and performances from Brett and Jemaine are top notch. Highlights include Business Time which the iTunes review describes as Barry White trying to sex up a mundane suburban relationship. That is if Barry White was White. My favorite though has to be Robots (live). This Kilroy Was Here style rock opera spins an epic yarn of a human civilization conquered by robotic beings. Funny thing is, this one track is more interesting than both matrix sequels combined. I know it’s a bold statement, but I honestly believe that FoC is the Spinal Tap of a new generation. Look for a full album to be released in 2008.
