""Fragile pastoral Americana"--Time Out London"
Hem's music is calm, dreamy, elegant, and exquisitely bittersweet. "This Brooklyn octet plays sophisticated, subtle orch-pop that just happens to have a twang," says the Washington Post. Their new album Eveningland, just out on Rounder, uses the orchestral textures of 1970s country-pop and countrypolitan styles in a whole new way. Hem forges a lush, poignant sound that reaches its apex in the incredible voice of Sally Ellyson, a serene yet aching instrument that you're going to be hearing a whole lot about, real soon. Nobody seems to know quite how to classify Hem: country, alterna-folk, Americana, and chamber folk are a few of the terms that have been tried out. The problem comes up because this band is really one of a kind, and something new and different!
