Review
It's written into the logic of creativity that something like urban clatter and din can create calm. That's Hem. The Brooklyn quartet makes acoustic latticework of guitars, mandolins, piano, an array of orchestral instruments, and the floating voice of Sally Ellyson, which is equally suited to whisper-quiet tunes like the brief opener, "Lord, Blow Out the Moon Please," as it is to "Stupid Mouth Shut" and the band's boisterous rendition of "The Cuckoo." Hem's mellowness follows a post-punk New Age bend in the neo-folk road (especially on the sentimental "Burying Song"), but mostly the lyrics recall early Cowboy Junkies, the Hank Dogs, and the Be Good Tanyas. "All That I'm Good For" combines pedal steel with a full complement of strings to create an almost Lambchop level of rustic richness-—while Ellyson's voice goes from absolute glassy-lake calm to heights Sarah McLachlan would recognize. --Andrew Bartlett
