Say Hi http://virb.com/sayhi The Wishes And The Glitch (Euphobia/The Rebel Group) Release Date: February 5, 2008 It doesn't take too many spins to hear that something very different is happening on The Wishes And The Glitch, the fifth record from Say Hi principle Eric Elbogen. Yes, the dry sense of humor is never far, but gone are the persistent musings about robots and vampires, replaced here instead by a complicated mapping of the post-twenty something psyche, by the slow implosion of someone who fell out of love with everything he once held dear and who attempts to muster just enough gumption to get back and begin something fresh. Wishes discards the fictional protagonists that adorn Elbogen's previous records. It offers up something entirely more wholesome, a glimpse into the songwriter's disappointments and excitement at new prospects. It makes sense, in light of this, that he would present this record with the truncated band name (Say Hi is the former Say Hi To Your Mom), choosing to discard the perceived teenage potty humor and suggest something more universal, simple and personal: a salutation to things new.]]> Virb 2.0 (@sayhi) en We Lost The Albatross http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245743 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:36:12 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245743 Apples For The Innocent http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245742 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:33:36 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245742 Zero To Love http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245740 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:30:53 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245740 Spiders http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245736 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:28:03 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245736 Bluetime http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245732 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:24:59 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245732 Magic Beans And Truth Machines http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245730 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:22:23 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245730 Oboes Bleat And Triangles Tink http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245729 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:20:25 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245729 Back Before We Were Brittle http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245727 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:18:08 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245727 Toil And Trouble http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245726 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:15:47 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245726 Shakes Her Shoulders http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245725 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:13:41 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245725 Northwestern Girls http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245724 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:11:07 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/audio/245724 The Wishes And The Glitch cover http://virb.com/sayhi/photos/1537194 ]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:09:14 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/photos/1537194 http://virb.com/sayhi/photos/1530550 ]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:58:44 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/photos/1530550 http://virb.com/sayhi/photos/1530549 ]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:54:02 -0800 http://virb.com/sayhi/photos/1530549
