Less than two years after a critically acclaimed debut, Hem has revived the ‘countrypolitan’ sound of the ’70s. The eight-piece band, featuring Sally Ellyson’s smoothe, detached vocals, has recorded a CD mixing country, folk and tin pan alley songs backed by the Slovak Radio Orchestra. The result is a much larger, moodier sound, fusing folk sensibilities and the power of an orchestra.
