"It's a treat to encounter a genuinely uncategorisable group ... they plough a furrow intriguingly distant from most of the contemporary cliche zones ... hyperliterate, densely rhymed lyrics ... far richer soundscapes than those of your average group ... Flipron deliver extreme variety."

"...Tom Waits doubtless has this album on his iPod."

"...Flipron are otherworldly and wonderful for it...like Madness produced by Joe Meek... a mini-masterpiece."

"Flipron are truly quite a find. 'Fancy Blues & Rustique Novelties' is a multi-layered, fantastically unpredictable and often morbidly hilarious ride which all discerning music fans need to hear. Let's hope this is merely the sound of them gunning that jet-black hearse and easing it onto the highway for a lengthy death trip."

"Next up, who remembers Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem? Yup, they were the Muppets house band, and FLIPRON are their mirror image; all glam afros, fairy lights and lunatic flash ... There's a disregard for creative limits going on here, and it's warping expectations of what we can expect from live music. ... Who is the baboon? Who cares, I don't even know who I am after these brilliant bastards have played."

"... a tremendous set, brimming with intelligence and wit. Superb showmanship and regularly hilarious lyrics overshadowed the fact that he was also acing a variety of tricky instruments ... I cannot wait for the heartbreak album after the lead singers’ ‘mail-order-robot-bride’ inevitably breaks down."

"... when a band like Flipron comes along, it’s an absolute delight. The band is charm itself ..."

"Mixing so many music styles to form an enchanting and smile inducing sound that seems to exist in its own Lost Vagueness style world the band ploughed through two sets without repeating themselves once. As well as happily mixing jazz, reggae, funk, blues and folk into one great song the lyrics come across as equally diverse.

No warning and no build up but it works and as the driving cinematic sound starts ... I didn't think it was possible either but it is and as it was happening the singer joined in the roaring and the whole song drove itself higher and higher with its crazy, freak out ending ...

... they mix too many styles and seem to be based in a strange fantasy world of their own creating, but for some odd and indefinable reason this world they have created seems nicer, more honest and a hell of a lot more fun then the one we inhabit from day to day."

" ...(the Pumpkin King) in the body of a very glary Frodo Baggins, and you'll be somewhere close to Jesse, front man of Flipron. His hugely theatrical narrative style gives a unique edge to a brilliantly bizarre, and deviously infectious band.

Dark and mysterious gypsy waltzes with accordion and a piano almost lost in reverb, like a French film dream sequence sit not uncomfortably right to some crazy Hawaiian guitars.

...They're booked to play in Lost Vagueness at this year's Glasto - if you catch them down there, they'll probably scare the crap out of you."

" ... Flipron have obviously learned on their travels, bringing flower wreaths, keys, lap guitars, and accordions into play to carry along their crazy cabaret. Mad it was, and mad went the ladies. The effect was striking; as if they were broadcasting on a wavelength that only the women in the audience could pick up."

"I blearily tell Flipron I love them. Perhaps it's the bourbon talking. It wouldn't be the first time. I hope it won't be the last."

"Their stage performance will also blow you away. Don’t get me wrong, they will not jump from one side to the other of the stage, but instead fascinate you with a beautiful light game and flowers all over the place."

"A seriously funny record full of wicked tricks ... Indulge yourself if you dare ..."

"It's kind of dark mysterious and slightly sinister ... (if Flipron were a cheese?) it might possibly be 'Venezuelan Beaver Cheese' of Monty Python fame, but see what you think."

"To listen to this album is to enter a peculiar world where logic is fractured and the plot is more twisted than the most complex film noir you can imagine ... It is the most amusing and lyrically clever album I've heard this year."

"Amidst the lethal cocktail of strange exotica, black humour, harpsichords and off-key vocals, there's a joyous realisation that being eclectic doesn't necessarily involve a pretentious, pre-planned aproach to music-making. Bizarre to say the least, thankfully.."

"The lyrics are inspired with clever rhymes resulting in some cracking songs. Each track is a story and Flipron have definitely got that elusive "catchy" factor ... I love this album, the songs are great, the artwork on the CD cover is ... interesting, and it's all finished off in a lovely shade of pink. Go out and buy it, I insist."

"It is impossible to do justice to lyrics of such poetic unity ... Fancy Blues and Rustique Novelties is a marvellous album"

".....As unique as their name....Flipron play easy listening in the true sense of music that is melodic and pleasing......Lyrically, Jesse follows his flights of fancy wherever they take him, frequently arriving at superb fables like that of Youth Shall Never Beat Old Age in a Race......a song about nothing less than mortality and the meaning of life.....Flipron have an album out (soon)...look out for it."

"Easy listening for the uneasy... a myriad of familiar musical sounds become beaten into unrecognisable shapes.... Dark, twisted, friendly, eclectic and tuneful, with a nihilistic-poet at the helm – you won’t know why Flipron intrigue you but it is doubtless they will."

"...without doubt, the most talked-about act we have ever booked."

"... Flipron sound like nothing else."

"All in all, the most creative collection of enigmatic delights I have heard this side of Halloween."
