Say Hi – “Such A Drag” (Stereogum Premiere)

The last time we heard music from Eric Elbogen’s project Say Hi, it was for the soundtrack to last year’s film Free Samples. Now he’s back with a new album titled Endless Wonder and compared to something like “Love, Love, Love,” “Such A Drag” points to a more bombastic release. Moving from brittle drums and glaring synths to sections of skronky guitars it goes all over the map while still keeping a tight structure. Listen to it below and look for the band on tour this spring.
