Say Hi – Oohs & Aahs
It seems like it’s been forever since I had something to review, damn this recession. But, in the past week or two, I’ve picked up a couple albums that I’ve been enjoying and I thought I’d share with y’all. The first comes from Say Hi (formerly Say Hi to Your Mom).
Say Hi is actually just one man, Seattle’s Eric Elbogen, and his collection of drum machines and synthesizers. He’s put out six albums since 2002. Oohs & Aahs is the first one I’ve had the pleasure to hear. So I don’t really know if this is a retread of familiar territory or a bold new step for Elbogen.
What I do know is that this is a very pleasant little album that really sticks with you. This lo-fi, laid-back style really works for me. The lyrics are simple musings on love and I wouldn’t call anything particularily pioneering, but tracks like “Hallie and Henry” are just too damned catchy to be ignored. If I had one complaint, it would be that you hear Elbogen breathe more often than I would like. Sometimes it works, sometimes I find it distracting. This is one of those albums I’ll be coming back to again and again.
The main reason I wanted to do this review is that there seems to be a lack of media around this album. I haven’t read any reviews anywhere nor have I heard anyone mention it. But I managed to find it and I think I’m better off for it. Why don’t you give it a try too? Spread the word.
Favorite Tracks: “Elouise,” “Hallie and Henry,” “November was White, December was Grey,”
