Firework Shoes on CD

2012 release, the fourth album from the British Psych band. Fireworks Shoes delivers what Flipron do best - unique songs with piles of personality. This is an album full of questions, provocations and even arguments with itself, presented with the wit and lyrical dexterity that has become a hallmark of their output. Production comes courtesy of long-standing friend and co-conspirator Rat Scabies, who has coaxed the band into their most confident performance yet, with flavors of Alex Harvey and Sparks welded to psychedelic surf-guitar twang, 2-tone organ chips, barrelhouse piano and even Italian mandolins ending up in Flipron's Technicolor bed of shameless musical promiscuity. The lead single from the album, 'The Comet Returns', features a guest vocal from Specials legend Neville Staple - the first time the band have collaborated with anyone else in this way.
