SECOND ALBUM NEWS!
The following is a news release from Kranky:

    After recording sessions in spring 2003 at National Recording Studios in Maryland there was new music for Justin to mix. No more live drumkit, lots of machines. The girls singing. There is a taste of house, maybe even of Moroder. All we had to do is wait while the magic did its work.

    By the summer of 2004 music started showing up at kranky hq. While an agreement for licensing the new album in Europe was worked out with K7 Recordings in Germany the band added some overdubs at home and Justin mixed some more. On Feb. 7, 2005 the wait will be over as a single called "One Life to Leave" will be released. It features a track from the forthcoming album, a remix of that song that is exclusive to the single and a third, non-LP track.

    The second long playing Out Hud record is entitled Let Us Never Speak of It Again and will be released worldwide on March 21, 2005. The band plan to begin touring in April 2005 in the East Coast, South and Midwest portions of the United States.

STREET DAD RELEASED!
After years of playing, releasing singles and compilaiton tracks, the debut album is finally available. Here's what the label, Kranky says about it in their press release:

    Here it is, the first kranky release aimed at your ass as well as your head. Out Hud deliver the rhythm and the restraint; recalling the dry, brittle funk of early 80s UK post-punk, Sherwood's beat-mashing across the On-U Sound catalog and even acid house and hip hop. The five piece doesnąt sound hopelessly retro or preciously muso. At the core is an airtight, energetic live band transformed in the mix into a pounding system with a wide melodic range.

    "When will the new Out Hud album be out?" is one of the most frequent inquiries we get at the kranky offices. The band established a reputation as a dynamic live band on an all ages punk rock circuit that demands volume, impact and elan. Out Hud put out a number of well-received singles and has played selected shows around their Brooklyn base since moving from Sacramento in 2001. With their debut album out after a nearly two year wait, Out Hud are poised to seize the collective hipster consciousness by the backside.

Tracklist:

  1. Story of the Whole Thing
  2. Dad, There's a Little Phrase Called Too Much Information - [MP3]
  3. This Bum's Paid - [MP3]
  4. Hair Dude, You're Stepping On My Mystique - [MP3]
  5. The L Train is a Swell Train and I Don't Want to Hear You Indies Complain
  6. "My Two Nads" (Dad Reprise)
