FLIPPING THE PIG SINGER STRIKES OUT ON HIS OWN
The new solo album from Flipping the Pig lead singer, Melvyn Bernard, was released (i.e. posted online) Feb 28, 2009. Listen and download The Life You Thought You'd Have for free on the Sounds pages. It was written and recorded in a matter of weeks, primarily using only acoustic guitar, many layers of vocals, and much tweaking of knobs.
"Refreshingly different from a lot of stuff that's out there." - Past and Present
"Nothing like a Bipolar genius to catch my ear." - Ed (New York)
"He never tries to overly impress by playing what seem to be relatively simple tunes; the layers, when picked back, reveal the complexities...Ranging from soulful acoustic rock to the type of apartment rock that is often labeled "genius"...there are times when you feel almost reassured that there's more than one person behind this madness; perhaps he's suffering from a mental disorder" - Smother.net
"It's been quite a while since anything this diverse has come across my desk. This is thinking out of box both lyrically and musically speaking...It's a mixed bag of anything a little heady, mystifying, or all out strange and eerie." - Muen Magazine
"Because he jumps stylistically between each song it is difficult to pinpoint or pigeonhole Flipping The Pig. The jumps feel natural, even welcome, like you're meeting different characters to a greater story" - James Curtis, special to NewsLink
"Your one-stop-pop-shop-songster. So many influences, yet a sound that merges said influences into his own" - Mike, St. Louis
Flipping The Pig was referenced in Speigel Online (Germany's leading music resource) in an article about Radiohead. The album, Giving It To Myself, was listed alongside Wilco and The Beastie Boys as one of 7 notable free album downloads worldwide!
Airplay (at least what we're aware of):
- 88.1FM KFCF in Fresno, CA (as a featured album)
- 91.7FM in Austin, TX
- 90.5FM and 94.5FM WJFF, serving the Catskills, NY
The song "Buttaonnit" was featured in the short film "Sleepy Guy" by Knemonic Productions.
