The eclectic 2005 release from Flecton.

"Featuring collaborations with the Grifters and Califone, Never Took a Wife is a defiant pop record, blending disparate sounds together to form an oddly endearing collection...there’s a dreamy feel to Flecton, often reminiscent of Archers of Loaf that is strange, inviting, and impossible to forget." - Exclaim!

"Fractured pastiche governs the words, songs and sounds of this audio story, complete with humid and heavy atmospheric production and left-field instrument selections and explorations (marimba, hand rub, pump organ, rocking chair). A ballsy debut." - Hour
