This week Uh Huh Her have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons after Southwest Airlines discriminated against them for kissing on a plane. Two things to note here - rather sweetly Leisha and Cam are apparently now an item BUT more to the point it's astounding that in 2011 this sort of thing still goes on. I hope that in my lifetime I am able to live in a society where people are not judged on or defined by who they happen to love. Is this too much to ask for?
Anyway more importantly for all Uh Huh Her fans: this week the band have also released a new single from their hotly anticpated second album Nocturnes. Uh Huh Her have worked non stop all year. Not only have they produced this whole album themselves after splitting from their management, (they even sold stuff to fans to raise money to make the record), they have toured the US and Canada extensively and even put together an EP in a matter of weeks to tide fans over whilst they waited for the album to come out. The wait is nearly over for Uh Huh Her lovers as the album finally comes out on 11th October and yesterday's release of 'Another Case' offers a sneek preview of what to expect:
The dramatic drum intro, reminiscent of a marching band leads in to a rousing electro pop delight which sticks with their signature sound but indicates a more polished direction. Based on this song it seems that the band have built on their brilliant debut album 'Common Reaction' and taken their music to the next level. Cam and Leisha are both phenomenally talented musicians and hopefully this is the album that propels them to the level of notoriety they deserve based on their talents and songwriting alone.
Check out the new song below.
