Though stylistically pulling from many different sources (pop, new wave, folk, jazz, electronic, rock, showtunes, etc.), there's a lyrical cohesiveness that prevails on the mood of the one-man-band Flipping The Pig's new album My Heroic Cadences (his second album in four months). Released on February 29, the album exhibits a late night feel with overtones of loss, confusion, redemption, paranoia, hope, as well as the coolness of getting Eddie Deezen's autograph.
Go listen. Go download. Go make copies and/or tell your friends and enemies. It's free, as are the previous three albums. As they have been since all this wonderful crap began in 2003.
It's the culmination of a lifetime spent listening to a wide variety of music as filtered through a chunky guy sitting in his pajamas and doing whatever comes to him.

REVIEWS
"...perhaps he's suffering from a mental disorder..." - Smother.net
"This act's sound is tough to neatly summarize. But (Flipping the Pig) will likely make you smile, although you may not know exactly why." - Indie-Music.com - Dan MacIntosh (2006)
"It's a mixed bag of anything a little heady, mystifying, or all out strange and eerie." - Muen Magazine.
"Your one-stop-pop-shop-songster." - Mike, St. Louis
"Because he jumps stylistically between each song it is difficult to pinpoint or pigeonhole Flipping The Pig. The jumps between songs...feel natural, even welcome, like you're meeting different characters to a greater story" - James Curtis, special to NewsLink/88.1 KFCF FM (Fresno, CA)
