Flight Of The Conchords — The Distant Future

Music Review
Flight Of The Conchords
For anybody who's been watching the new HBO series Flight Of The Conchords, you'll be well-versed in the musical antics of acoustic duo Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie. For anyone who hasn't been watching the show, I can't help but ask, "What's your problem?" Flight Of The Conchords not only lampoon some of the most popular cliches in pop music, but they perform every song as though it's the most important and heartfelt music you will ever hear, making the parody so much funnier. The boys effortlessly glide from crass but sweetly innocent propositions on "If You're Into It" to some of the funniest heartbreak ever recorded on "I'm Not Crying." A fitting summation of the too short but hilarious and brilliant EP comes from the absurdly seductive "Business Time," where Clement relays,"When you tell me you want some more, well I'm not surprised, but I'm quite sleepy."
