{"product_id":"be-my-thrill","title":"Be My Thrill","description":"Personnel: Deb Talan, Steve Tannen (vocals, guitar, Wurlitzer organ, keyboards); Meg Toohey (electric guitar); Brad Gordon (piano, organ, Wurlitzer organ, Mellotron); Frank Lenz (drums, percussion).\u003cbr\u003eAudio Mixer: Ryan Freeland.\u003cbr\u003eIllustrator: Deb Talan.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: Robert Sebree.\u003cbr\u003eLike an earthier version of Sixpence None the Richer, the Weepies brew up a sound that's part Lilith Fair throwback, part coffeehouse folk, and part NPR-approved pop. Be My Thrill, the duo's third album, continues the same thread the Weepies have been spinning since their 2003 debut, with acoustic guitars and light boy\/girl harmonies taking most of the spotlight. Deb Talan and Steve Tannen sing these songs like they're performing for their two-year-old son; their voices are soft and casual, their melodies whimsical, the arrangements tight and textured but rarely, if ever, overpowering. The song titles alone give away the album's cheery vibe -- \"I Was Made for Sunny Days,\" \"Be My Thrill,\" \"Be My Honeypie\" -- and even the titles that sound like sad ballads (\"Hard to Please,\" \"They're in Love, Where Am I?\") are played with all the sunny cheer of a CW network TV soundtrack. There are drums here, but they share their time-keeping duties with tambourines, hand claps, and other light percussion; there are electric guitars, too, but they never take the spotlight. Instead, the focus is on homespun material, the sort of folk\/pop fare that could be played on acoustic instruments around a campfire, and those who liked the Weepies' past albums will find more to enjoy here. ~ Andrew Leahey","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50571682414879,"sku":"067003089029","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/69169e799809ae78c6eb9f5703e51644.jpg?v=1777882157","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/be-my-thrill","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
