Oh Yell!

Nerdy-girl pop (they have an entire song about tetris), with lighthearted lyrics, a duo of female vocals, upbeat and feel good. Mostly acoustic and folky, using banjo, fiddle, and harmonica to produce a country feel at times. Feel of album reminds me of Ben Kweller in attitude (not really in general sound), with that "life is tough and we're not well adjusted, let's sing about it happily with goofy/upbeat songs." Disc has good moments, but at times the sound can be nauseatingly happy and the sound too predictable. FCC clean except 2, 5, 6, 8, 12
