The New Zealand comedy-based folk duo Flight of the Conchords has announced a new live album, Live In London, due out on March 8th via Sub Pop. The duo comprised of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement recorded the forthcoming album during a series of shows at London’s Apollo Theatre, resulting in their recent HBO special, Flight of the Conchords: Live at the Apollo London, which aired in October of last year.
The Live in London album features seven new songs including “Iain and Deanna”, “Father and Son”, “Summer of 1353”, “Stana”, “Seagull”, “Back on the Road”, and “Bus Driver.” The album also features performances of fan favorites “Inner City Pressure”, “Bowie”, “Foux du Fafa”, “Mutha’uckas – Hurt Feelings”, “Robots”, “Carol Brown”, and “The Most Beautiful Girl (In The Room)’ (the latter two bonus tracks edited out of the broadcast due to time constraints).
Ahead of the release, the duo has shared their new single “Iain and Deanna”, which you can listen to below:

Live in London will be available in 2xCDm, 3xLP and digital formats, and fans can pre-order the album now here.
The duo developed a worldwide cult following after their BBC radio series was turned into a TV show on HBO in 2007, showcasing their unassuming yet hilarious blend of music and comedy. The eponymous series ran for two seasons and was nominated for several Emmys in both songwriting and overall comedic categories. After a relatively quiet few years, the group returned in 2016, announcing an extensive summer tour that marked their first U.S. shows since 2013.
