"Flathead" comes off Costello Music, the debut album from Scottish indie rockers the Fratellis, which hit British shops on 11 September 2006 through Fallout, Drop the Gun and Island and reached America on Cherrytree the following March. Jon Fratelli wrote it, words and music, and Tony Hoffer produced and mixed it and engineered it with Todd Burke.
Alongside the album's five singles came a download-only EP named Flathead. "Chelsea Dagger" was the big hit from the record, and the band toured it through Europe, the United States and Japan, and won Best British Breakthrough Act at the 2007 BRIT Awards.
