Flight of the Conchords: I Told You I Was Freaky

Flight of the Conchords' second album maintains the duo's comic touch, writes Kitty Empire
  
  


New Zealand's premier failed band share a common affliction with other acts. Years of fine-tuning went into the first TV series and album; with the follow-up written in relative haste, the challenge is to maintain quality levels. Conchords series two was, therefore, slightly less brilliant than series one of the acclaimed comedy, and so is … Freaky, the second album. It's only the merest hint of a smidgen not as good, mind: man-friends Bret and Jemaine's savant-naif handle on human relations remains detail-perfect, from the "Roxanne" send-up, "You Don't Have To Be a Prostitute", to the electro verite of "Too Many Dicks (on the Dancefloor)".
