Flight of the Conchords
“I Told You I Was Freaky”
3 out of 5 Stars

“I Told You I Was Freaky,” the second Flight of the Conchords compilation released by Sub Pop records, serves as a welcome reminder of some of season two’s musical highlights.
While not quite as musically-rich as its 2007 predecessor, “I Told You I Was Freaky” finds Bret and Jemaine fooling around with more musical stereotypes than one can easily remember.

“Hurt Feelings” serves as the hip-hop parodying follow-up to “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenocerous.”

“We’re Both In Love With a Sexy Lady” subscribes to the comedic storytelling of “Business Time” and “Petrov, Yelyena, and Me” pokes fun at cultural stereotypes much like “Foux Du Fafa.” Expect plenty of Bret’s intentionally ostentatious falsetto foiled by Jemaine’s deadpan drawl.

La Roux
“La Roux”
3 out of 5 Stars

La Roux have been circulating the blogosphere and generating the typical attention for an indie band for nearly a year now.
With the release of their album, one might shrug it off as overhyped, but in the end they produce some quality retro-dancey, synth pop that’s worth a few plays.

“La Roux,” meaning redhead in French, perfectly matches the fantastic red hair of British front woman Elly Jackson. Jackson and keyboardist Ben Langmaid’s debut album has seriously exploded onto the scene since its June UK release. Jackson’s sweet and slightly edgy vocals combined with the synth of Langmaid’s keyboard produce easy electronica listening.

“Bulletproof,” the lead throwback-to-the-’80s was recently the iTunes single of the week and if that’s indicative of anything, expect to be hearing a lot more of this very soon.
