Track:
Matt Pryor (of Get Up Kids fame) has written and recorded a full album of children songs under the moniker of the Terrible Twos, many of them reminding me of the first couple New Amsterdams releases with their simplicity - often times sparse arrangements featuring Pryor and a guitar and possible one other backing instrument. "Grumpy Bug" is such a song, begging his daughter (the Bug in question) to sleep. It's as desperate as any of the tracks he's recorded throughout his long career yet still sounds so sweet and tender. I guess as musicians get older, they find new things to write about (thankfully) so we continue to get to hear new material that has the same passion as the songs written when they were 21 and in love for the first time. You can read more about the album, and listen to all the tracks here.http://cdbaby.com/cd/terribletwos
