So, I just wanted to take this time before I head out to get a $5 dollar foot-long from Subway (I hope this promotion never ends) to write about how excited I am for the debut Uh Huh Her album, Common Reaction, to drop on August 19th. I know it's a while away, but they posted (presumably) the first single "Not A Love Song" on their MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/uhhuhhermusic) a little while back and I can't stop listening to it. It reminds me of a perfect mix of The Sounds, Blonde Redhead, and a dancier Beastie Boys' Sabatoge. It has one of the catchiest electro-pop choruses I've heard in a while, and the first time I listened to the entire song I felt like I had been beaten upside-the head with a keyboard, bass, and snare drum -- for clarification, that's a damn good thing in my books. This past summer I was already blown away by how great both their EP and live performance were (post here), and now I absolutely cannot wait until this full-length drops, and for me to see them play a full set at the Roxy at the end of May.
On another note, I just booked my tickets to Seattle which means Sasquatch is officially a go. It's going to be an amazing Memorial Day Weekend, to say the least.
Now, walk it out.

Hmm, it didn't take long for their music to grow on me because I'm a sucker for most things that have heavy keyboard/synth work, but maybe it'll be an acquired taste for you. Definitely give em' another shot, especially when the full-length drops =)
