Brooklyn’s Bishop Allen is poised to release second album Grrr… March 10 on Dead Oceans. Songs from 2006 full-length debut The Broken String scored the core duo of Christian Rudder and Justin Rice a Sony digital-camera commercial, as well as a cameo in saccharine teen romance Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Despite the commercial exposure, Bishop Allen is sticking with the sunnily frank lyrics and gently melodic guitars of The Broken Spring, adding a dash of ukulele instrumentation for good measure . If you can’t wait until March 10 to sink your teeth into Grrr…, the album will be available for digital download a week in advance on the band’s website.
