Finally! Flunk came out with their sixth studio album, This Is What You Get. What? You are not excited? You should be. I may be biased, as I have been a Flunk fan for a long time, but this release has exceeded all my expectations. The clever Norwegians normally fall into sleepy-breezy-lo-fi electronica range, with their dreamy rhythms and almost shoegazing feel, and melodies almost dissolving in the air. Now, however, having almost completely reinvented themselves, Flunk play steady. Strong beats, clear melodies, and Anja Oyen Vister's Björk-like vocals may not be finger-snapping, feet-tapping material, but they will definitely set the rhythm. Well... in a relaxing way. Some songs I would even classify as trip-hop. So obviously I'm not promising Alex Gopher or anything, but if it's late and you need to relax after all that dancing, or if it's a rainy day and you feel semi-energetic, this is the stuff. Oh, and did I mention that there is an awesome cover of Radiohead's "Karma Police"? That's right.
A couple of songs to help you make up your mind:
Cigarette Burns
and
Karma Police
and
Full album here.
Cheers
