(Please excuse obvious headline. I couldn’t resist). Titled Ooh’s and Ahh’s, the new record is out on Barsuk Records next Tuesday, March 3, 2009. The first song I’ve heard from the record “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh” is a winner.

Spin premiered another track last month, called “November was White, December was Grey,” and that one ain’t to shabby either.

Say Hi is playing a record release show with Visqueen and Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, who are also releasing a record the same night (more on that later), on March 6 at Neumos. Then they are off to swing through SXSW on a month-long nationwide tour with new local fav Telekinesis.

Say Hi’s tour dates are below the fold.
