    Flotation Toy Warning "Bluffer's Guide to The Flight Deck" vinyl, 2LP; gatefold, printed inner sleeve, comes with a free download code.

    "Since its initial release in 2004, Bluffer’s Guide to the Flight Deck—the debut effort from Flotation Toy Warning—has become somewhat of a cult favorite among the avant-pop set; a genre-swapping classic comparable to Flaming Lips’ Soft Bulletin and the Avalanches’ Since I Left You. The UK band spin their longform suites tightly and delicately as spiderwebs, connecting exotica-inflected ambient to psychedelic rock, Britpop to plunderphonics, downtempo electronica to acoustic folk. These rotating accoutrements, and the dynamic articulations between them, set a surprisingly smooth pace for the marathon-length tracks (9-and-a-half minute highlight “Donald Pleasance,” the ethereal two-fer “Fire Engine On Fire”). Sure, the arrangements dawdle now and again—Flotation Toy Warning are content to spend most of “Popstar Reaching Oblivion” basking in blurred synths—but they never durdle. My advice to prospective listeners: as with everything else in life, just go with it." Bandcamp

lyrics

I have the captain on the line
Wants to know who made it through this time
Wants to know who's smiling this time

Don't know what the captain has to say, on how this decorated man became a boy
Doesn't want to know that it's bed time
Wants just one more game to see him through night time
Although they took his men away, he wants the paper and the empty box to stay

I have the captain on the line
Wants to know who made it through this time
Wants to know who's smiling this time
Although they took his men away, he wants the paper and the empty box to stay

"Drusky wanted God to return his youth and grant him the guitar-playing skills of the famous guitarists along with resurrecting his mother and his pet pigeon.
If God failed to appear in court, federal rules of civil procedure said he must lose by default."

Most of the band met whilst working in Nth London in a sprawling old grey brick building.They agreed to live together in an old warehouse with no windows in E. London, ideal for making as much noise as you wanted, whenever you wanted. Which they did, by plugging things into other things that shouldn’t rightly be plugged into anything, then singing through them until something interesting happened. ... more
