Looking Out the Fishbowl

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Eddie From Ohio; Genre: Country

They're really from Virginia, and the lead singer isn't Eddie, but Julie Murphy Wells. So what? On Looking Out the Fishbowl, this ''folkternative'' quartet charms with an irresistible cache of smart, quirky songs that goose the imagination — a goldfish and a dog plotting to escape their dull suburban home, an international love affair that never gets past the language barrier. Guests John Jennings and Sam Bush sit in, probably just for fun.
