The Vault: We Say Muchos Gracias For Papas Fritas
Massachusetts trio Papas Fritas was one of the numerous mid-’90s indie outfits that always seemed thisclose to breaking out of the college-rock circuit, but could never quite emerge from the shadow of its relatively big-name peers (that changed a little in 2003, thanks to a widely seen Dentyne commercial, though by then the group was in semi-retirement). PF’s 1995 self-titled debut has been recently been rediscovered around the Idolator flophouse, where its smart, cheerful guitar-pop helps to take the pain away:
