Article: Introducing Uh Huh Her

Leisha Hailey and Camila Grey, members of the Los Angeles-based musical duo Uh Huh Her, seem to get along as mellifluously as their voices blend. Throughout our interview, they often finished each other’s sentences and kept up a frisky banter as they talked about their debut EP, I See Red, which will be released tomorrow digitally.

“Indie electro-pop” is how they describe their sound. “That’s [it] in a nutshell,” Grey said, “but I think it’s a lot more involved than that. Then again, I don’t know that we have a specific sound. We try to be all-encompassing or something. Whatever. I just had a bunch of sake.”

Hailey promptly steered things back on track: “And it’s going to evolve. This is just the beginning of what we’ll do together, I’m sure.”

Review: I See Red

Nowhere in the literature for Leisha Hailey’s new music project does it explain why she and bandmate Camila Grey chose to dub their band with the same name as PJ Harvey’s 2004 release, Uh Huh Her. Perhaps that will be explained by the time the duo’s full-length album is released next spring. Meanwhile, we’ll have the digital EP I See Red to keep us happy.

Back in the 1990s, Hailey gained national attention as one half of the Canadian folk/pop duo The Murmurs. With their tight harmonies and quirky lyrics, the pair developed a devoted following and released three albums before dissolving and then reforming as Gush. Hailey and Heather Grody finally went their separate ways when Hailey joined the cast of The L Word in 2004.

Fast-forward a couple of years, and Hailey was looking to start up a new band when she met Grey, the bassist and keyboardist for Mellowdrone. The pair began collaborating early this year, and over several months they recorded the five track EP I See Red, mainly at Grey’s house. They have done such a fine job that the average listener will have no idea that it was done anywhere but a professional studio.
