Ted Hadji

I’ve been in Austin for about three years. I came here from Boston, MA, where I was in graduate school studying classical political philosophy. In addition to my own project, I’m in the McMercy Family Band and I help organize The Austin Secret Show. Check them out; they are in my top friends. My first release, The Particles Don’t Care is out now! You can buy it on CD Baby or .



Praise for The Particles Don't Care:



"Hadji displays flashes of Guy Forsyth and Todd Snider in juxtaposing sincerity ("Sad Man's Revenge," "All We Have," "Too Close") against the quirky pop of "Get Out of Bed" and polyrhythmic drive of "Do Me Wrong." -Doug Freeman (The Austin Chronicle)



“The album pulls through relationships with both an eye for minutia and a heart for allegorical romanticism and disillusion . . . Ted Hadji has a gentle voice that conforms well to the various stylings he writes without sounding artificial, and while “The Particles Don’t Care” may not be for the everyday listener, music fans who enjoy honest emotion in modest folk rock will appreciate this album.” -Sarah Vasquez (Austin Sound)



“[Hadji creates] odd and diverse music typified on his self-released debut, The Particles Don't Care. He blends slow-paced, gentle vocals that scream emo influence along with catchy folk/rock beats. On several tracks, raw emotional vocals and lyrics come together in dark and honest harmony.” The Gambit (New Orleans)



“The opener, 'Page Three Girl', is a full-blooded power pop pastiche with all manner of instruments scurrying around and generally causing mischief. It’s a fun listen – clever, and catchy as hell. It’s kind of The Goon Show meets The Daintees.” -Del Day (Americana UK)



I’m starting a new band: Someday Parish. The instrumentation is simple: guitar, upright bass, wurlitzer, accordion and lush harmonies. Watch out!
