Here Come The 123's

As the title implies, the album is numerically minded, from the breezy "Zeroes" to the jaunty "Nine Bowls of Soup" to the raucous "Eight Hundred and Thirteen Mile Car Trip." As always, TMBG juggles musical genres as it presents its silly ditties, with styles ranging from bossa nova to electronica to rock.
