Flood (They Might Be Giants album)

Flood is the third studio album by Brooklyn-based alternative rock duo They Might Be Giants, released in January 1990. Flood was the duo's first album on the major label Elektra Records. It generated three singles: "Birdhouse in Your Soul", "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", and the domestic promotional track "Twisting". The album is generally considered to be the band's definitive release, as it is their best-selling and most recognizable album. Despite minimal stylistic and instrumental differences from previous releases, Flood is distinguished by contributions from seasoned producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley. John Linnell and John Flansburgh also took advantage of new equipment and recording techniques, including unconventional, home-recorded samples, which were programmed through Casio FZ-1 synthesizers. The album was recorded in New York City at Skyline Studios, which was better equipped than studios the band had worked in previously.

Promotion for Flood included television appearances, promotional videos, and an international tour. The album's mainstream promotion and success contributed to its status as the band's most well known album. Many fans, including young viewers of Tiny Toon Adventures, were first exposed to They Might Be Giants's music through Flood.

  • Untitled (Marc and the Mambas album)

    Untitled is the first studio album by the British singer/songwriter Marc Almond's band Marc and the Mambas. It was released by Some Bizzare in September 1982.

    Background

    Untitled was Almond's first album away from Soft Cell and was made concurrently with the latter's The Art of Falling Apart album. Almond collaborated with a number of artists for this album, including Matt Johnson of The The and Anni Hogan. The album was produced by the band, with assistance from Stephen Short (credited as Steeve Short) and Flood.

    Jeremy Reed writes in his biography of Almond, The Last Star, that Untitled was "cheap and starkly recorded". He states that Almond received "little support from Phonogram for the Mambas project, the corporate viewing it as non-commercial and a disquieting pointer to the inevitable split that would occur within Soft Cell". An article in Mojo noted that "from the beginning, Almond and Ball had nurtured sideline projects, though only the former's - the 1982 double 12 inch set Untitled - attracted much attention, most of it disapproving." The article mentions that Almond "who preferred to nail a song in one or two takes" stated that it was all "about feel and spontaneity, otherwise it gets too contrived" when accused of singing flat.<ref name"mojo">Paytress, Mark.

    Untitled #12

    by: John Frusciante

    Blind your head in catastrophe icicles
    No-one¡¯s fed in cycles led by cycles dead
    Ask to shine the flag
    Love is distance and blue sits like apples bite
    And flows through our hands
    I said ¡®Hi¡¯ to a man who shot his sister
    Panned through the station
    And jumped in front of a train
    Said I¡¯m a bit confused to meet you
    Life¡¯s what scissors do to a day
    So their smiles pave the way
    Sand drips with waves
    And clouds my head cuz I¡¯m a fortune fellah¡¯s bed
    And I¡¯m the tunes played by the goons
    Who ride in fairy¡¯s wombs
    And stole the road the other way
    And sold tomorrow to yesterday and
    I know the feeling of pushing you out of a building
    Tiny people pulsating hit the sky
    Still the ground got up and wiped your face
    You expected to fly, wind up your misfortune
    Sling ¡®em to a Maitre-Dee
    Who wears dead butterflies on his face
    And is hoping to grow wings
    He really wants to tell you
    ¡®hey give your tears to today¡¯
    Grind yourself souvenirs under your stolen years
    Hands in your pockets
    Your hands getting numb been hurt in grinds jive
    Do the avenues that seem to meet defeat you
    Did you ever try to hug the sky behind your head
    I walked forever sightseeing a screen
    Shuffled a mean green ping
    Dives head first into a hole in the water
    Drives side to side like a floating machine
    Dove dancing to a fable told to a sea of disintegration
    Crawl to a celebration of dirt that leaves that taste of wine
    Sucked from a hair that digs into the darkness
    Full of the fair that my head rides.
    I slide your kind through a ladder
    Hanging on a star
    Stray close so far
    Away from the climb
    A tape like section of introspection
    To rewind would be to recline.
    Hit the pounds underlying gently
    Ride on the side
    Tell your problems to zero
    He¡¯s got nothing to hide.
