Product Information
The lodgepole pine doesn't yield its seed willingly. Seasons can come and go and years-even decades-can pass, and the seeds remain locked in the cones. There is only one catalyst for this unusual tree to reproduce: fire. As flames rise to the tree's crown, the cones open, bringing forth the seeds of new life. It's a striking image, one that formed the basis of "The Jack Pine," a song that stands as the centerpiece of Hem's extravagantly bittersweet five-years-in-the-making album, Departure & Farewell. It's also a perfect summation of this unusual chapter in the band's life, which started as a breakup before becoming a rebirth-a point lost on none of the members. Hem is Sally Ellyson (vocals), Dan Messé (piano and Glockenspiel), Gary Maurer (guitar, mandolin), and Steve Curtis (guitar, mandolin, back-up vocals). Departure and Farewell was co-produced by Maurer and Messé and recorded at Sear Sound. Of the new release, Messé notes, "Hem has always been about endings in one way or another (we were named after the ending of a dress, after all), but never more so than here in these songs." Ellyson furthers, "This album is about loss, about the fear of loss and about the trajectory of life. it was one of the more emotionally resonating albums to record."
Formed in 1999, Hem self-released their debut Rabbit Songs in 2002 to critical acclaim, establishing themselves as one of the most promising bands to emerge from Brooklyn. Since then, they've released four full-length albums, including the music for the 2009 Public Theatre production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, for which they received a nomination for Outstanding Music in a Play for the 2009 / 2010 Drama Desk Awards.
Rezensionen
„Verweile doch, Du bist so schön – es ist schier unmöglich, ein Hem- Album nach herztiefem Hören aus dem Player zu entfernen. Einmal noch, nur dieses eine Mal noch dieser engelsgleichen Stimme lauschen, sich an diesen köstlich-kunstvollen Arrangements ergötzen, eintauchen in das sanfte Fließen dieser wehmütigen-weichen Musik, die in dieser Form wirklich einzigartig ist. (…) Country-Kammer-Kunst und kristallklares Folk-Fließen von zartdelikater Zerbrechlichkeit und waidwunder Wehmut, zum Weinen schön. Der Himmel kann kommen. Oder nein: Er ist schon hier.“ - Glitterhouse. com
