A Post-Punk New Age bend in the Neo-Folk road...

First go listen to these two covers: Valentine's Day (Amazon free Download) and Jackson (NPR RA stream). Then re-read the title for this post, taken from Amazon's editorial review for Hem's first album Rabbit Songs, and then please use the comment link to try and explain it to me... I'm just slow that way... So anyway, this band from Brooklyn has a new release, Eveningland, and it proves that lightning can strike twice! No second album syndrome here. The sounds of piano, glockenspiel, guitars, mandolin, pedal steel and violin provide the backdrop for Sally Eliston's soaring voice. She sounds like she is singing on your porch. This is beautiful music.
