Oddly normal?  Normally odd?  Though stylistically pulling from many different sources (pop, new wave, folk, jazz, electronic, rock, showtunes, etc.), there's a lyrical and emotional cohesiveness that prevails on the mood of one-man-band Flipping The Pig's melodic new album My Heroic Cadences.  The new record retains the chaotic spirit of past releases, but this time with no electric guitars and no bass. It wasn't a conscious decision; they simply weren't plugged in. The album was written, recorded, and released in February, on the heels of last November's You Get The Idea. Its 10 tracks exhibit a personal late night feel: overtones of discomfort, guilt, and paranoia; undertones of hope, humor, and the coolness of paying ten bucks for Eddie Deezen's autograph.  There's the throaty choir and wavering vocals on 'The Ripple', the moody solo piano of 'The Conversationalist', the groggy 'Periphery', the mid-tempo new wave pop of 'Let A Moment Pass', the acoustic slightly unsettling tone of the aptly-titled 'The Creeper,' as well as 'Preset' -- his very first drug-addled dance song (he channeled his inner Bronski Beat and he's very proud).
