2.18.17 I remember this Nashville outfits 2000 release Nixon. Nixon was soulful and loungey with one of my favorite album covers of that era. Flotus is a fairly quiet record full of stratified electronic textures and rhythms. Kurt Wagner's vocals on most of the tracks have the autotune vocal effect, similar to Thom Yorke's vocals on Pulk/Pull Revolving Door (Amnesiac) or many Daft Punk tracks. The way this effect is tuned here produces a real nice soothing effect. "The Hustle" the last 18 minute track evolves, builds and finishes this record perfectly.  I love the way the somber piano escorts out this epic piece. It reminds of something from Talk Talk's Laughing Stock.  I am really glad to see these fellas are still at it.
