Say Hi To Your Mom is basically the solo project of Eric Elbogen, though for this album he invited his tour mates to the recording studio. This album is their forth effort and is something of a concept album. The concept: Love songs by vampires. The album is almost great.

There’s only one problem. Eric Elbogen can’t sing.
