Hem – The part where you let go

September 18th, 2007 by

Hem
“The part where you let go”

Like the indigo girls, the harmonies in this song are actually lower than the melody. I absolutely love the result. If I were to classify this group, I’d say it’s nickel creek meets Indigo girls. It’s a bit more complex than just that though. You’ll find many more instruments in HEM’s arsenal. If you listen to “Half acre” you’ll hear a bassoon, an oboe, piano, xylophone, clarinets, and strings.

If a sense of musical folk is your thing, you’ll really dig this music.

    Great choice. Hem are far too unknown. Love the blog — the music is almost unerringly up my alley. Great work.

    You didn’t mention that this song is used in a Liberty Mutual Insurance ad: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Iw97CfZtyGw

    You could potentially be responsible for my being broke! :) I love them too!
