Southern California singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ehson Hashemian unveils his stunning fifth solo album ‘Me Then You,’ a 14-track indie-rock journey out now. Woven with atmospheric textures and dreamlike melodies, the album marks his most ambitious project yet — a concept record inspired by the story of Adam and Eve and the dawn of human connection. A founding member of The Jakes (now Young the Giant) and co-writer of their double-platinum hit “Cough Syrup,” Ehson continues to evolve as a solo artist with an album that radiates cohesion, introspection, and hope. “‘Me Then You’ is a concept album that tells a story and sticks to one main theme throughout,” he shares. “A theme that runs through most of the album is a longing for love and friendship, and the need to eliminate hatred in the world.”
Featuring the energetic single “You Got It,” along with heartfelt tracks like “Everything” and “Back Home,” ‘Me Then You’ blends emotional storytelling with inventive soundscapes. “You Got It” stands out for its dance-driven vibe, with Ehson noting, “It is a light-hearted song that is meant to break you out of being stuck in your shell and holding back from enjoying a good dance beat.” Across the record, his reflections on love, perseverance, and the human spirit shine through, offering listeners both comfort and inspiration. ‘Me Then You’ is more than an album — it’s a vivid statement of growth and creative purpose from one of indie rock’s most thoughtful voices.
