Leisha Hailey, who we love as spunky social networking guru Alice on The L Word, has been busy in between seasons. She and bandmade Camila Grey are prepping for the August release of their debut album as the duo Uh Huh Her.
Their 2007 EP and sold-out performances across the county built buzz nationwide for the gals, who only started playing together in 2006. Their 11-song album, called Common Reaction, drops on Nettwerk Aug. 19. Hailey and Grey worked with producer Al Clay, who’s helped hone the sound of artists such as the Pixies, Blur and Pink.
They also rounded up video producers Draw Pictures for a surreal take on their first single, “Not A Love Song.” Among others, the Draw Pictures team has worked with Depeche Mode, The Bravery, Franz Ferdinand, and Mark Ronson. The video should drop soon.
As for the album, Hailey says we can expect infectious songcraft. As she and Grey were working on the record, she says, “we realized it went in a pop direction, but in a good way.”
The sixth and final season of The L Word started shooting early this summer in LA. It’s set to air in 2009.
