Ready to form another band after a five-year hiatus from music, Hailey went to see Grey perform with Mellowdrone. "I had been waiting to meet someone who had her talent and drive," Hailey says. "After hanging out a couple of times, it was obvious we were a great match." For her part, Grey says she was ready to leave behind session work and focus on a creative collaboration. "I've wanted to write and produce my own music, but was too busy touring as a background performer."
The result of their efforts was the EP I See Red, which was recorded over several months in a bedroom at Grey's Los Angeles home. ("Vocals were done in the bathroom," Hailey says, "it was very sexy.") Produced by Grey and mixed by Al Clay (who has worked with the Pixies, Frank Black, and Blur), I See Red, with its laser-sharp melodies, ethereal harmonies, lush string arrangements, and muscular drums, is a great introduction to the duo.
Less than a year after the release of I See Red, Uh Huh Her will unveil their full-length debut, the accessibly melodic Common Reaction, on August 19th. Produced by Al Clay … it was recorded in January at Clay’s L.A. studio, a world away from Grey’s bathroom …. The effort is an extension of the band’s previous musical foundation, as evidenced by focused tracks like "Not a Love Song," "Wait Another Day" and "Explode."
"We wrote a lot of it before we went in the studio, but we wound up re-cutting everything," Grey says of the 11-track album. "We wanted to make a commercially appealing record. The songs aren't specifically poppy but appeal to a wide variety of people."
"Sometimes the song just calls for it and you can't fight the pop," Hailey laughs. "I like that it's eclectic and not just one thing. That bores me in a record. We never wanted this band to be small."
Common Reaction is now available.
Another Case
Uh Huh Her Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a harder chase
You're fast against mine
I'll beat it, you're the weaker one
That's another case
I'll taste the last line
I will take you to the other side
I will set you up
I will tear you from the other one
It's a bitter race
You're frail
I am stronger than the other ones
I will set them off
Don't try to fight me
I will break you either way it seems
It's a testimony
To how this will end
I'll stop it when I've finally won
I'll take you down somehow
I will stay till I'm the only one
That's another case
You failed
And you feel you've lost it
And you know you lost it
Tell me I'm the only one
Though it's not the same
You're fast against mine
Tell me I'm the only one
It's a better place
You're mine completely
Tell me I'm the only one
You give me hope somehow
Tell me I'm the only one
That's another case
You feel so empty
The lyrics of Another Case by Uh Huh Her, depict the intense feeling of competition, where one person is hell-bent on proving their dominance over the other. The lines "I am better than the other one, I will set them off" show a clear superiority and need for control over the situation. The lyrics also suggest that the person being pursued is not easily caught, "You're a harder chase, You're fast against mine," but the singer is determined to win, "I will take you to the other side, I will tear you from the other one."
The song also touches on the theme of isolation as the singer says, "Tell me I'm the only one, You give me hope somehow." Here the singer emotionally targets the other person to be with them and has an intense desire to own them completely. It further reflects the competitive nature that the singer wants to be the only one who matters at the end, "I will stay till I'm the only one." The lyrics can be interpreted as being about a romantic relationship, a business deal or a personal rivalry.

Damn, it's so hard to find other musicians that have such beautiful chemistry. Ok, so they didn't work as girlfriends. If i may suggest, get the band back together & be occassional lovers who create kick ass music!

I love how the lyrics convey an image of self preservation while still yielding to the emotional dependency formed through love; much more balanced than complete cowardice or overbearing obstinacy.
