Buildings and Grounds is the third and final studio album[5] by Papas Fritas, released on Minty Fresh in 2000.[6][7] In Australia it was distributed by local label Half a Cow, their first release of a non-Aussie album since Bettie Serveert's Palomine five years earlier.[8]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

The Austin Chronicle wrote that "the arrangements are particularly grin-inducing, with their headphone-ready little tweaks and snippets of synthesized smarts and fleshy string flourishes."[9] The Washington Post wrote that the band "doesn't overstate or over-embellish its material, relying on direct arrangements, bright tunes and the boy-girl vocal contrast between the band's two singers."[10]
