Description
Los Angeles' Uh Huh Her is a dynamic pairing of musician/actress Leisha Hailey and singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Camila Grey. Inspired by a PJ Harvey B-side from the identically titled 2004 PJ Harvey album, their band name was born. But that’s where the borrowing begins and ends. Uh Huh Her’s sound – a self-described indie electropop hybrid – is a unique and organic product of Hailey and Grey’s styles. Their music has a sultriness that crashes head on with the profound, both cosmic and carnal; it is replete with elastic bass lines, ambient synths and backbeats that will seduce to the core. Most importantly, it’s a sound that landed the band in the Top 20 on iTunes with the release of its first single ‘Say So’ and resulted in sold out shows in LA. New York, and the UK. The band, which released its debut EP ‘I See Red’ in July 2007, marks Hailey’s return to music – she was formerly a member of the bands The Murmurs and Gush. Though she garnered success with her portrayal of journalist Alice Pieszecki on hit cable TV (and DVD) drama The L Word, Hailey considers herself equal parts musician and actress.
Less than a year after the release of ‘I See Red’, Uh Huh Her unveil their full-length debut ‘Common Reaction’. Produced by Al Clay, it was recorded in January at Clay’s L.A. studio, a world away from Grey’s bathroom, where ‘I See Red’s’ vocals were laid. With ‘Common Reaction’, Hailey and Grey are looking to a horizon that’s as expansive as their sound – which is to say, seemingly infinite.
