Buildings and Grounds is the third studio album by Papas Fritas, released on Minty Fresh in 2000.

[5][6] In Australia it was distributed by local label Half a Cow, their first release of a non-Aussie album since Bettie Serveert's Palomine five years earlier.

[8] The Austin Chronicle wrote that "the arrangements are particularly grin-inducing, with their headphone-ready little tweaks and snippets of synthesized smarts and fleshy string flourishes.

"[9] The Washington Post wrote that the band "doesn't overstate or over-embellish its material, relying on direct arrangements, bright tunes and the boy-girl vocal contrast between the band's two singers.

Mastered by Roger Siebel at SAE (Phoenix, Arizona).
