The Deep Cultural Accents Of Popular Music. Say it slowly, slurring your words like a true American. Then there's the name's more literal reading. Papas fritas is Spanish for french fries.
People think pop music has no musical value, but pop is a form.
And it's just as legitimate. Like the Cardigans , with whom the band has toured extensively, Papas Fritas capture an innocence and melodicism that harks back to earlier eras of music. So I try to write songs that sound like they're part of a culture. We get accused of being retro, but I don't think of it like that. But the music sounds like Sesame Street because someone crafted it like that.
