This is accessible music at its best---fun lyrics that speak of bananas, math and crayons for the kids, plus stylistically complex musical arrangements that will grab adults as well. The Pop Ups are clever wordsmiths whose sense of fun gives Radio Jungle its special spark while the rhythmic dance-ability of their music makes it impossible to stay seated. This long-awaited CD went immediately to my ‘Best of the Year’ list.”
 ~ Kathy O’Connell, WXPN Radio, Philadelphia

 “The Pop Ups are way fun: great musicians, clever songwriters and engaging performers.
They get 4 thumbs up from us!
~ Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer- Children’s Music GRAMMY Award winners

“These songs are like a party on tape! As much as I love Outside Voices, Radio Jungle is even better. It’s is like an epic road trip through different time zones, genres and amazing sights... And I don’t want to turn the dial for a second. Radio Jungle proves that it is possible to capture the energy behind The Pop Ups’ dynamic, exciting live show in purely musical form. We’re seriously impressed... again!"

 ~ Jack Forman, Recess Monkey

"With fat production, lush harmonies, catchy melodies and interesting arrangements the Pop Ups have come out swinging on their sophomore release "Radio Jungle".  Fun tunes in a wide variety of musical styles."

~ Chris Wiser, The Sugar Free Allstars

"Not only are the Pop Ups ridiculously fun and creative, but their delightful new album is sonically amazing!  The throwback retro 80's vibe makes you feel like you are on a vacation to paradise. The Pop Ups make us tap our toes whilst smiling, every single time.  We love these guys!"

~ Lucky Diaz and Alisha Gaddis, Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band

Celebrate Jewish Lullabies Volume 1

Fall 2011 Music

Ages: Infant - 4 yrs.
Producer: Craig N Co.
CD Price: $15.00
Review:

Guitarist/singer Craig Taubman has gathered together an impressive lineup of musicians for this stunning album of Jewish lullabies for younger children. This is his fifteenth album, and the songs on this CD join traditional Jewish themes and ancient teachings with everyday aspects of contemporary Jewish life. While Taubman only sings two of the fourteen songs (the lovely opening prayer "Laila Tov," and the sweet, lyrical "Angels By My Side,"), he is joined by such musicians as Yael Meyer, the jazzy Pop Ups Band on the hypnotically compelling "I'm Tired," and the gorgeous voice of Linda Hirschhorn on the Laura Nyro-like "Talia's Lullaby." Other highlights include Marsha Attie's sentimental and charming "Heart of Mine," Josh Nelson's acoustic ballad "Night is Falling Down," and Saul Kaye's bluesy, Yiddish/English sung "Shema Lullaby." As a lullaby album, it achieves the rare feat of being both sleep inducing, yet fascinatingly lovely in its execution. While many of the songs are certainly specific to Jewish traditions, there is a universality to this set of songs that make it an accessible and enjoyable album for people of all faiths and cultures. Above all, this is an album that both parents, their children and other family members will want to relax to, time and time again.
