ALBUM REVIEW: “Be My Thrill” The Weepies
The Weepies
Be My Thrill
[Nettwerk]
Be My Thrill is The Weepies at their absolute best. The husband/wife duo spent well over a year making this album; writing over 70 songs then trimming the fat down to 14. Full of upbeat pop-folk gems like the title track “Be My Thrill” and “How Do You Get High,” the duo showcase an ability to not only write terrific toe-tapping songs, but also tracks with deep lyrical content regarding love, death, and everything in between.
While Be My Thrill isn’t necessarily a new sound for the band—they’ve been doing the same folk-pop-duo thing for nearly 10 years—it is refreshing to see the influence having a child has brought to their music. They’ve always had a kid-friendly sound, but you get a strong lullaby feel here.
Catch them on tour this fall (they haven’t toured in the past three years, so who knows when to expect them out on the road again). Check out the cute animated video below for the title track “Be My Thrill” and you’ll be an instant fan.
