This Bay Area threesome have a toe-tapping, jangly guitar sound and smart, quirky lyrics that remind me of They Might Be Giants and Barenaked Ladies. But it's the minor-chords in songs like What's That Noise? that give the CD a very cool edge that make it sound even more grown up.
My kids especially like Field Trip's outer space sound, and the funky title track which features some scat singing and wah-wah guitar. And, I'm working on getting the "pleaseandthankyou" chorus to Things You Want embedded into their heads. -Christina
