i purchased this fantastic album after hearing a review on the npr music show, all songs considered. the reviewer explained that the album was such a fun experience that his young children loved dancing around the house to it.
hearing that might encourage some of you to never take this album for a spin, but it is exactly why i love it. it is filled with poppy goodness - simple music with positive melodies and fun lyrics. lots of lovely high strung melodies and barely a minor chord in the whole thing. each song is driven by an uptempo drum beat and quirky keyboard sounds.once again, this album is unlike anything else in my collection, and i think that is why it is one of my favorites. check out the super-upbeat songs "now", "my only offer", and "blue and gold print". total ear candy.
you might be wondering about the above photo. it is from a friend's fun birthday party a few months ago. music like this makes me yearn for more moments like those in my life.
