Specifically, the new album "Chicoutimi". Well, it's really an EP, with a collection of their vinyl remixes of "Boo Boo" songs and a bonus hardcore techno remix of "Kamloops".
But these three new songs are absolutely amazing. Mark seems to be taking a more metronomic/robotic step with these new songs, and they roolz.

Has anyone heard any of those recent Mark Robinson solo LPs? I sort of gave up on him awhile back (maybe ill-advisedly).

Apparently a Canadian publication was tickled that a band was named after the city Flin Flon, so they interviewed Mark Robinson (in 2017!): https://www.thereminder.ca/news/local-news/novel-name-with-northern-roots-flin-flon-the-band-1.22738761
“I’m a hockey fan and at some point I started to subscribe to The Hockey News. This was pre-internet,” said Robinson. “I learned all the names of the teams in the major junior leagues. To a young American person, some of the names sounded unusual. Like Swift Current and Kamloops, places like that. Flin Flon stuck out as an interesting name. It just sounded so unusual. When I found out it was named after a science fiction character, that really sold it. We did get billed incorrectly in a few places on tour as ‘Flim Flam’ because people didn’t know,” said Robinson with a peeved sigh.”
“We haven’t officially broken up. I guess we’re on a hiatus,” said Robinson. “We did talk about playing again a couple of years ago,” he said. “Nattles said she hadn’t picked up a bass since 2006 and wasn’t sure if she still knew how to play it.”
