Its been over a year since Say His Eric Elbogen released his latest record, the kicky Oohs & Aahs, but the guys still had a truly buzzworthy 2010. Elbogen gained national exposure when one of Oohs most memorable tracks, One, Two…One, was featured in a slick TV commercial for a Cadillac sports car; earlier in the year his shaggy, bearded self was also interviewed on ABC News, who fawningly described his music as bedroom, melodic, wistful indie pop. Now hes gathering a full band together; besides tonights KEXP show and Say His opening slot for Barsuk labelmates Menomena at the Showbox in September, Elbogen recently tweeted that hes back to the grind recording the follow-up to Oohs. With Head Like A Kite. ERIN K. THOMPSON
