The 11 Best Songs By Say Hi

It will always amaze with the amount of music I listen to and how many different artists that I'm at least familiar with...that I always seem to discover great bands that I never even knew existed.  

Say Hi (originally Say Hi To Your Mom) is basically a one-man wrecking crew better-known among friends as Eric Elbogen.  I stumbled across Say Hi's new release (Um, Uh Oh) based on a rather high score on metacritic.  Everyone who scores a 75 or higher, usually gets an obligatory listen from me.  I usually skip through the album...but this time, I was impressed.  I picked up the album thinking it was a debut or at best a sophomore release.  There's no way an artists this good could have seven albums under their belt and I hadn't heard of them.  Not that I'm the authority on all things music...but it's rare an artist slides by unnoticed, especially one who makes albums about vampires and Star Trek.  I mean, seriously, how much cooler could he be?  I've heard him technically categorized as mumblecore...but who knows what any of these music labels mean anymore.  Think Bright Eyes meets The Promise Ring...and I'm not sure that adequately describes him.  My best suggestion...go take a listen.
