Say Hi to Your Mom, Numbers & Mumbles (Euphobia)
Eric Elbogen is Say Hi to Your Mom (on CD at least) and has turned out a nice, quiet, low-beat sort of album that sneaks into your mind somewhat slowly. There's nothing Earth-shattering about it on the first few listens, but it gets around to sticking with you when you least expect it. "Pop Music of the Future" is charming in its mopeyness. "But She Beat My High Score" should nail a bullseye with any portion of the male population with an affinity for games, and other fare like "Hooplas Involving Circus Tricks" and "Your Brains vs. My Tractorbeam" are, for once, as fun as the titles would suggest. Elbogen even tosses in a cool cover of the Beatles' "I'm So Tired" that just does its own thing without worrying about what it's covering. Nice. Really nice.
