Freak Out City (Vinyl LP, Glacial Blue)

With a focus more on fun than funny, Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie has announced a brand new solo album called Freak Out City, out this August on Sub Pop. McKenzie was a founding member of The Black Seeds, and is no stranger to songwriting, having casually picked up a Grammy a wee while back. Sadly, none of the Muppets are on backing vocals, but Bret’s got his own Electric Mayhem supergroup here, featuring the likes of Ben Lemi, Joey Waronker (Beck), and plenty more of both L.A. and Pōneke’s finest. - Flying Out
