Музыка и песни Flipron / Flipron

In a just world, a band of such long standing - and with a track record as great as theirs - would really need no introducing. But then, as we all know, there's not much justice in the world." Tom Robinson, BBC 6music. "Firework Shoes", FLIPRON's fourth & strongest album, delivers what FLIPRON do best - unique songs with piles of personality. This is an album full of questions, provocations & even arguments with itself, presented with the wit & lyrical dexterity that has become a hallmark of their output. Production comes courtesy of long-standing friend & co-conspirator Rat Scabies, who has coaxed the band into their most confident performance yet, with flavours of Alex Harvey & Sparks welded to psychedelic surf-guitar twang, 2-tone organ chips, barrelhouse piano & even Italian mandolins ending up in FLIPRON's Technicolor bed of shameless musical promiscuity. The lead single from the album, The Comet Returns, features a guest vocal from SPECIALS legend Neville Staple - the first time the band have collaborated with anyone else in this way. As FLIPRON guitarist, songwriter & frontman Jesse Budd says: "Wed been working on an instrumental that had a sort of 2-Tone meets Spaghetti Western feel, but we felt that it could be more atmospheric with some ad-libs & shouts, & theres nobody who can do that sort of thing as well as Neville, so we asked him. He puts a huge amount of energy & personality into what he does. We couldnt be more delighted. We think the whole tune has come alive with his contribution, & hes great in the video too!" But "Firework Shoes" is ultimately an album as much about entertaining & engaging the listener as it is about provoking questions. One question though: How do Flipron describe their music? Well, US-based music industry mag Music Connections described the band as "Barrelhouse Britpop" which the band thought was pretty good. They quite like "psychedelic honky-tonk" too! Last question: How would you describe it? Record Label: Tiny Dog Style: Independent
