Much of Grrr...ventures pretty far into the cutesy-as the album's title suggests--but more often than not, Rice and Rudder's strong rock-sense gives Bishop Allen's songs enough kick to overcome their cloying elements.
-
Twee without being cloying, Bishop Allen have dropped any signifiers that might make us think Tilly & the Wall (the clattering percussion, and urgent male/female vocals), and manage to present their light-hearted lyrics as sincere.
-
35Grrr... seems transcribed from a distant memory or read from the pages of a script.
