Platypus is Flobots before the big leagues came calling: a 2005 release from the Denver experimental hip-hop outfit that Jamie Laurie founded that year, out of a similar project he'd started five years earlier. In the band's catalog it sits between Onomatopoeia and Fight with Tools, the 2007 major-label debut that made them a mainstream name.
It also carries "Handlebars", the song that would become a Modern Rock radio hit in April 2008 once Fight with Tools took it to a much wider audience.
