Flight Of The Conchords Debut Due In April
December 13, 2007, 1:45 PM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
They play marginally talented singer/songwriters on their runaway hit HBO series, but Flight of the Conchords members Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie put in extensive time in the studio to perfect their self-titled Sub Pop debut, due April 22.
All the tracks have appeared on the show, but Sub Pop A&R honcho Tony Kiewel tells Billboard they've been "massively reworked and totally re-arranged." The synth-pop parody "Inner City Pressure" is likely to be the first single, and the label is now selecting 10 or 12 songs from a possible 15 to form the track list.
"The idea is to find a tiny window of opportunity to get the band available to do stuff in between writing and shooting" the second season of the HBO show, Kiewel says of the Conchords' busy schedule. "They're involved in every aspect of the show's production."
Last week, the group's debut EP, "The Distant Future," received a Grammy nomination for best comedy album. But the easy-going Clement admitted to Billboard in August that he was a bit baffled to find himself at the center of all this attention. "Sometimes I'm really surprised I ended up being a performer," he said. "In a lot of ways, I've got a job that doesn't suit me. I'm not a particularly social person or the life of the party, but somehow it's ended up that way."

From various different articles that I've read, these songs that we've heard a thousand times before are supposed to be totally reworked and rearranged... so who knows what we're in for!

Found this article... sure hope they are wrong about the release date!!
SourceFlight Of The Conchords release debut album
The record features tracks from the acclaimed TV show
Mar 5, 2008
TV comedy duo Flight Of The Conchords will release their self-titled full-length debut album later this year.
The record, out May 12, features 14 versions of songs by comedians/musicians Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement from the acclaimed TV show.
Among the tracks features are 'Business Time', 'Hiphoppotamus vs Rhymenoceros', 'Think About It' and 'The Most Beautiful Girl (In The Room)'.
The collection also features pastiches of the Pet Shop Boys ('Inner City Pressure'), Shabba Ranks ('Boom') and David Bowie ('Bowie').
The TV series, which featured the band struggling to make it New York, was first broadcast in June 2007 on HBO and BBC4, and became a huge hit.
The duo's mini-album 'The Distant Future' was released last year, and won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

LMFAO @ "April 22"
Typical...
BTW Jess, Jemaine NEVER updates their myspace with anything. It's been like a year. I've read they don't really like everyone to know everything they're doing. You know, cuz they're so private and stuff. Could explain why their official site hasn't been updated in just as long if not longer.
