Some music can make you smile, and some music can make you grin like a damn idiot. pApAs fritAs specialize in the latter, as in the jouncy “Vertical Lives,” which makes you nod your head to lyrics about geodesic domes. Clever to a fault, pApAs fritAs have perfected a summery sound, part Partridge Family, part Beach Boys, and all fun. Get ready for convertible weather by blaring this from your car stereo.
