Buildings and Grounds by Papas Fritas
Buildings and Grounds is an album by Papas Fritas, released in 2000. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Way You Walk”, on 5 lists with a best position of #360.
Buildings and Grounds, the third and last studio album from Papas Fritas, came out on Minty Fresh in 2000, the same year the band called it quits after eight years together. It's a fitting sign-off for a group whose name doubled as a pun on "Pop has freed us": the record leans hard into bright, sticky pop hooks while keeping indie rock's homemade charm, with "Way You Walk" the tune that hung around on countdowns for years afterward.
It even found its way to Australia, where the local label Half a Cow picked it up, the first non-Australian album it had put out since Bettie Serveert's Palomine. The Pop Has Freed Us retrospective followed in 2003.
