Ben Folds Is Back To Cynical On Way To Normal


It's been nearly a decade since Ben Folds bolted solo from his band Ben Folds Five, a group that harbored an original indie rock sound that Folds once described as "punk rock for pussies".

Folds' new release, Way to Normal, is on the shelves and worthy of a complete download for fans. Full of his trademark sarcastic and whimsical lyrical prose, Folds hammers the piano keys with an expected dose of attention deficient abandon that punctuates his mid-life cynicism.

Download Free Coffee and Bitch Went Nuts, and listen to them in that order. The final 59 seconds of Free Coffee presents a hilarious introduction to Bitch Went Nuts.

Good stuff.
