Flight of the Conchords - The Distant Future '2007

Tracks list

       If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, Flight of the Conchords' Sub-Pop
EP The Distant Future is their debut. New Zealand's "fourth most popular
folk-parody duo" released a live album and a box set of their radio show down
where the water flushes the other way, but North Hems probably became aware of
them through the 12-part series for HBO or, just as likely, the global menace of
file-sharing. The Distant Future seems made to be a souvenir of the former, or
maybe it's a placeholder till their promised full-length appears. Whichever it
is, it is frustratingly short, giving only a taste of the deadpan,
so-dumb-they're-smart world of the Conchords. It's hilarious as the two
overestimate their understanding of life, love, and the future, the last of
which they see as a world run by robots who know two dances, the classic robot
and the new robot boogie. The live version of "Robots" is equaled by the studio
version of "Business Time," which sounds something like having Barry White
trying to sex up the most mundane suburban relationship story, that is if White
were white, from New Zealand, and with thick glasses. Completing the trifecta is
the casual "Banter," which is "just a professional version of talking" that
every great band masters. Spinal Tap for the 21st century indie kid. More
please.
