Things have gone a bit differently for Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar since Uncle Tupelo…
Flotation Toy Warning
Flotation Toy Warning‘s debut album Bluffer’s Guide to the Flight Deck came out in September of last year. (Yeah, so I’m a little slow; I’ll probably post older songs to this site at some point; anyway…) The British quintet seems like yet another indie band waving their freak flag high. On their website bio, they eschew any connection with the real world claiming to have no influences and an esoteric desire to impact the world. But who really reads these things for the truth. It’s rather common for bands to make up shit for their bios. But, wait. Don’t write these guys off. Their music sounds really cool. Popstar Reaching Oblivion incorporates organ and outer-space muppet voices in such a way that it sounds like the church organist has her sheet music turned upside-down. And Happy 13 sounds like Beck and Pink Floyd together. At last. So whip your geek out of your pants and have a little fun.
