Say Hi, formerly named Say Hi to Your Mom, came out with their 6th album in March this year. Yet, Oohs & Aahs is their first album with Barsuk Records, who they signed with last year.
Say Hi is mostly the work of one man, though. Eric Elbogen started the project in Brooklyn back in 2002. Usually his songs are recorded at home on his Mac.
From Wikipedia:
On tour, friends accompany Elbogen as a band but occasionally he performs solo with the help of synthesizers and drum machines, which he refers to as “his robots”.
In 2005 Elbogen enlisted Chris Egan III as drummer and Jeff Sheinkopf as keyboardist. Say Hi’s record company Euphobia Records was created for the band to start to produce its own records.
With the release of their fifth album The Wishes and the Glitch, the band shortened their name to “Say Hi”. This was done because the earlier name reflected an aesthetic that no longer matched the band’s tastes.
Anyways, my favorite song from his latest album is “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh”. I can listen to it non-stop…that’s why I thought I’d tell ya about it. I haven’t checked out the rest of the album yet…but it’s on my list. If anyone’s diggin’ it, or not, let me know.
