Say Hi’s quirky pop ‘impeccable’ on latest
By Michelle Turner and Kate Manegold | Mar. 7, 2007In his past albums, Say Hi to Your Mom frontman Eric Elbogen has been known to spill his angst into clever songs about spaceships and robots; however, on the band's fourth and newest release, Impeccable Blahs, he chose to move onto a slightly darker material. The liner notes explicitly state that ""Impeccable Blahs is a record about vampires."" However, they are ""not creepy goth vampires but rather people like you and me who happen to get their nourishment from drinking blood."" An interesting subject matter for a band that once specialized in detailing the angst of girls and video games, but it works well for them. Elbogen continues to write witty lyrics, this time using vampire tendencies as a metaphor for romantic human love, resulting in an album that is both fun and intelligent.
