If you've touched upon the realm of alternative music and where it merges slightly with the pop universe, you probably know of the electro-pop sensation Hellogoodbye. The band's simple but engaging variances on synthesized vocals with cutesy lyrics and unwavering energy put them at the height of their career probably a couple of years ago.
But since then, all we've gotten are a scattering of covers and teasers. It started off with their Ukulele EP, just 3 songs performed with lead Forrest Klein playin his Uke to two new tracks and a cover. They were well done but screamed of under-production. They were quiet, unassuming, and I found them beautiful for their simplicity.
Since then, there have been a few covers done by the band and put up on myspace. But the real draw for me has been their latest teaser EP. "When We First Met," the title track of a 2-song EP released last year, has me itching like mad for a new LP. It retains the band's focus on love and relationships, but removes the synthesized pop for a cleaner, almost more attractive feel. The song is still clearly Hellogoodbye, which just excites me for whenever they decide to release new material.
So keep a lookout, and let me know if you see anything about new Hellogoodbye songs. I cannot wait.
