Kenn ich nicht, aber:
Say Hi To Your Mom's 2004 release, "Numbers and Mumbles", was one of the truly great albums of last year in pop music (likely overshadowed only by Brian Wilson's "Smile", which is saying something), its followup, "Ferocious Mopes", was probably doomed to the inevitable comparsions. Its a good record, but its not quite what its predecessor is.
Say Hi To Your Mom is a Brooklyn-based musician Eric Elbogen, who crafts geeky pop songs filled with obscure pop culture references and great lo-fi indie-pop. Admittedly, this album sounds a bit cleaner than his previous records did, oddly a bit of a bad thing as it separates the mood of the music from the production a bit.
But its a great recording nonetheless-- very little in music is as entertaining as the totally bizarre vocal-and-guitar confessional, "Yeah, I'm in Love With an Android", laced with irony in its form and recited in a total deadpan vocal. Creative use of pop culture comes forth clearly in a pair of songs about romantic interactions-- "Reoccuring Motifs in Historical Flirtings" feels like a bunch of dumb things you've said at one time or another, and " Poor Pete Is A Bit Self Conscious" describes a hopeless trendy kid doomed to his own failure. And in a moment of varied mood, check out "The Forest Scares the Hell Out of Me", as haunting as the song title would suggest, but wiht tongue firmly in cheek to keep it from getting too serious.
Its a great record, again not quite as powerful as "Numbers and Mumbles", but I would have been more unhappy if this was "Numbers and Mumbles" part two.
Oh, I think I liked the robot on the cover of the last record more than the one on the cover of this one, but hey....
Check out Say Hi To Your Mom, its fantastic music.
say bye to your father

"The 22nd Century" finde ich großartig. Die anderen Probe-Mp3's vom neuen Album find ich dagegen eher mäßig.

BIOGRAPHY:
Say Hi To Your Mom simultaneously defies and enforces physics. We're the mumbling in your head while you're crunching the numbers. We're the apparitions, ticks, gut wrenching, suspicion and glee too. We're the reason you rolled a nineteen for charisma, the cat's meow, your least favorite aunt. Touch us and we'll touch you. Watch us and we'll watch you. You once tried to call us and the line was busy, but that was actually just us making busy signal noises with our mouths. If you would have called back we would have cooked you some pasta. What you're looking for right now is going to evade you forever. Fish don't speak but squirrels do. It all depends on your longitude. You should start from the beginning, but ignore the prequels. We like minimalism, broken robots, granny smith apples, sneakers and the mundane. We like make believe vampires but the real ones scare us. We don't care too much for your boss and the fact that you're starting to resemble her. You should work on that. You'll find us to be very reasonable if you'd just give us a chance. You can paint us by numbers. You can tell us to your shrink. You can consume us up to three times daily but you shouldn't ever exceed twelve doses in a four day period, unless you have a note from your mother. We definitely detest mom jokes. Seriously. We don't need to be reminded of what we resemble. We named ourselves after Midwestern dairy queen civility. We usually involve a variety of livestock running rampantly around. We think sideways motorcycle helmets are all the rage now that sideways trucker's hats are out. We are live, fleshy human beings attempting to recreate these sounds in real life. We put out our own records. We speak in binary code. We're in the market for an A-team van. We strive for muzak and custom made slip n' slides. We write under pseudonyms. We play for keeps. Our grass is always greenest. Our hair is unkempt.

der zum kostenlosen donwolad bereitstehende song "angels and darlas" ist auf jeden fall äußerst nett. sehr spacig.

die sind wirklich großartig! von der Ferocious Mopes gefällt mir auch "The Twenty-Second Century" am besten. werd ich auch wieder mal in der indiedisco spielen (vieleicht so zum einstieg!)
aber auch die neuen songs sind nicht schlecht. gerade mal "angels and darlas" angehört :-)
JimCunningham
05.09.2006 - 01:24
angels and darlas ist ein HIT...
und 21 century könnte wirklich durchaus zur lustigen indie-disco gereichen.
würde hier hier wahrscheinlcih eh nur 6/10 abgreifen, aber mir gefällt das zeug =)
JimCunningham

meine lieblingslieder:
-Let's talk about spaceships
-Angels and Darlas
-Hooplas Involving Circus Tricks
-Blizzard
-Dimensions and Verticals
-ghost
-The Twentieth-Second Century
werden gegen September nach Deutschland kommen. bisher nach Dortmund (mit friska viljor) und Leipzig.
textlich ist das auch sehr schön.
Say Hi To Your Mom - Pop Music Of The Future
she sold her warlock
and bought her drum machine
fired her whole band
'cause they hated 909 beats
she's got a love space
takes the L train to bedford
runs with some cool kids
that are actors, but dress like nerds.
and plays pop music of the future.
and no one will ever get to her.
she's a shaker, but not a mover.
she plays pop music of the future.
back in the 80's,
she wanted to be in a hair band.
and then in the 90's,
she only wore corduroy pants.
and then there was emo,
but that was just a phase.
'cause it's all been down hill
since sunny day real estate's
first record
she plays pop music of the future.
and no one will ever get to her.
she's a shaker, but not a mover.
she plays pop music of the future.

Ich habe das grüne Album auch schon gekriegt. Mit 3 Buttons. Das Ding ist unter meinen Top10 dieses Jahres. Ich durfte die auch live sehen. Großartig.
Hi
18.11.2007 - 14:34
Eigentlich hätten die viel mehr Beachtung verdient. Beste Entspannungsmusik. Ich habe damals die Numbers&Mumbles gehört und war hin und weg. Die neue The Wishes And The Glitch rangiert bei mir ebenfalls unter den Top10 des Jahres, obwohl offiziell erst 2008 veröffentlicht. Indie-Pop vom Feinsten!

Let's say the world was a legal pad
and everything was two dimensional.
But somehow you were the third coordinate
and you were towering over our college rule.
Would you draw me with your pencils and your pen,
make me much prettier than I really am?
And could you draw me with some picture perfect friends
if I chipped in for the ink?
Let's say you spilled all your coffee
on us while you weren't looking.
And all our world was stained, awake and drowned.
And all you doodling looked pretty foul.
Would you draw me air bubbles so I could breathe?
Or at least some chlorophyll making trees?
If I got erased would you even still love me?
Or would you just draw yourself another he?
Musik kann so einfach sein.

Leider nur noch "Say Hi"...Pfui!
JimCunningham
22.01.2008 - 23:06
ja, ich muss mich auch damit anfreunden.
They made a mistake at the toy factory
and forgot to turn off the brain machine.
So when security opened the door the next day,
there was a plastic, brand new army.
And they were are smart as geek is chic right now,
and as clever as the invention of pillow cases.
And they asked the guard who had made them,
but his knees were so shaky and he wasn't so smart.
So he shot them all dead.

sehr schön! eher richtung death cab for cutie find ich
oder vielleicht noch american football
JimCunningham
01.02.2008 - 17:02
Nicht vergleichbar mit Death Cab finde ich.
Musikalisch elektronischer und minimaler, textlich viel schrulliger und zweideutig finde ich.
Sagehorn

was von beidem? ^^
JimCunningham

Say Hi To Your Mom ist/sind
musikalisch elektronischer und minimaler, textlich viel schrulliger und zweideutiger, als Death Cab For Cutie's trotzdem schönem, Indie-Pop, oder was auch immer das sein soll.

happens soon.
