Artist description Sitting in his bedroom in Omaha, Douglas Kabourek creates some of the finest contemporary quirky pop you've heard lately -- that is, if you've been lucky enough to hear it at all. His albums are readily available, distributed through Saddle Creek's Web store and elsewhere, but Doug isn't too keen on actually making a huge effort at courting people into buying it, and instead relies on dedicated music lovers to discover his releases for themselves. And you should definitely search it out. Fizzle Like a Flood brings to mind everyone from Brian Wilson to The Flaming Lips, and in the process creates an idiosyncratic blend of every good pop album from the last forty years. Douglas used to be in what became The Faint, and as good as they are, his releases as Fizzle Like a Flood proves that he's moved on to better things. His Golden Sand and the Grandstand album is a modern-day classic, only few people know it yet.
