Ugly Casanova / Sharpen Your Teeth / 2002


"From the rustic pop of "Barnacles" to the wispy shades of "Hotcha Girls" and the understated, anthem "So Long to the Holidays" Sharpen Your Teeth is an album with depth and warmth. When the autumn winds pick up speed and the waves of Lake Michigan freeze in place, I'll be home listening to this album and howling She Shaw She Shaw until the sun rises over a frozen city and I have to go back to work. And this project turned out to be a particularly fruitful collaboration with a roomful of songwriters holed up in the Pacific Northwest with a box of demos and creative energy. They set about working on the album sitting around a kitchen table." -Derek Phillips
