SAY HI-”Oohs and Aahs”

Posted on May 16th, 2009 by ekko

Part Kinks, part Voxtrot, part Gary Numan, and even part U2, Say Hi’s new album, “Oohs & Aahs,” is great little lo-fi pop record written and recorded by Eric Elbogen in his apartment. On his Mac. It’s a lot of fun, full of hooks and fast beats. Especially of note is “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh,” with some rad horn work and a riff that will stay in your head for days.

Yeah, this is the band that used to be Say Hi To Your Mom, but the band is much improved, and much matured, since those days. Trust me, check ‘em out. This is a truly fantastic pop album–one of the best I’ve heard this year.

    HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

    • Email me
      for the specifics but, basically:
    • I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
    • With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
    • I don't listen to streams.
    • I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
    • I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
    • Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
