Teenbeat Records honcho (and former
Unrest and
Air Miami guy, among other projects)
Mark Robinson is dusting off his
Flin Flon project for a brief -- and apparently rare -- tour beginning this week in Charlottesville, Virginia. Ten years ago that city was the homebase for Flin Flonner Matt Datesman's other band
True Love Always (which act we saw at C-Ville's basement club Tokyo Rose lo those many years ago, when the city was also our home base for half a year) -- and perhaps it still is.
Flin Flon most recently issued its third long player,
Dixie, on Mr. Robinson's long-lived indie label. The trio has placed a song from the set online for download, and we've linked to it below. "Darlings" is a typically taut and minimal bass-driven assault not unlike the material from the band's
Chicoutimi record, which we played a fair amount around these parts when it came out a few years ago. You can stream three more tracks at the act's MySpace page
here.
