*runs across the screen screaming*
Finally there is new Hem music! Okay, it's only one song, but the last time they released a new song was over a year ago, and their last full-length album that was not an instrumental soundtrack was SPRING OF 2007, so I have been a-hankering.
And "Identical Snowflakes" is sweet and adorable--but with a wistful edge--and sophisticatedly folky and, like so many of their songs, in the spirit of Tin Pan Alley/the Great American Songbook while still being modern. Lyric snippet: We were cut from the same paper / that was folded long ago / so let all the other snowflakes turn to snow.
The website linked above still has Departure and Farewell slated for release next month, which would be amazing, but the release date has been pushed back a lot over the past couple years, so I'm not getting my hopes up. It's also maybe being split into two albums, because there are 26 tracks? I don't even know anymore. I also haven't heard anything new about the multi-artist Huck Finn project, even whether it's still on tap. But anyway, NEW HEM! Go, listen, fall in love!
