Flotation Toy Warning - The Bluffer's Guide to the Flight Deck (Misra) [mp3s/audio]

Orchestral, epic and spacious, at home with recent Mercury Rev or post-guitar, pre-electronic Flaming Lips. There are traces of the pomposity of Queen in the atmospheric production, yes that Queen - intersped with layers of sound bites, opera singers, violins and pianos. Grandoise music made for fans of Sparklehorse, Radiohead and early Grandaddy. A definite vibe record, the lyrically rhythmic vocals seem to have come from the unlikely gene splicing of Freddie Mercury and Jason Lytle singing for Sigur Ros. - mark

You make some bold statements. But those who haven't heard the lp yet need to know one thing... they're all 100% true.
