rabbit songs – album reviews
Quoted as wanting to make a record “we could love the rest of our lives,” Hem spent a year on this collection. The idea was to combine their love of traditional American music with the lushness of the occasional 18-piece orchestra, a good choice considering the sweet, crystalline quality of the vocal work by lead singer Sally Ellyson. Ellyson had never sung professionally before, but answered an ad in The Village Voice with a cassette of lullabies she’d recorded for a friend’s child, and the set begins with a snippet of what was on that tape — a few lines unaccompanied from the traditional “Lord, Blow the Moon Out Please.” Her voice, untarnished, as it may have been by spending nights on end singing in smoky bars, was worth waiting for. Rabbit Songs’ sound is lyrical, melodic, and pure. It was recorded in the old-fashioned, non-digital manner and that devotion to tradition is apparent in each song, whether in simple and sparse arrangements or full of strings and glockenspiel. The songs, which speak of devotion, loss, and voyeurism, don’t try to sound old — they just have an effortlessly timeless appeal. “Betting on Trains,” with its simple ebb and flow, is particularly lovely; “When I Was Drinking” speaks knowingly of disappointment, the effects of which are punctuated by swirling pedal steel; and “Horsey” swoons along to the old-time violin work of Carol Sharar like a relic from the past. ~ Travis Drageset, All Music Guide

Hem 的这张《 Rabbit Songs 》像一则充满星星的童话，一篇韵脚十足的美丽诗篇，他们结合了传统美国民谣与十八人编制的小型管絃乐团，立志作一张「自己会一辈子喜爱的专辑」，花上一整年时间，终於完成这张《Rabbit Songs》。
贯穿整张专辑的女主唱 Sally Ellyson 更是一个传奇；之前并非 Hem 团员的她，从来没有在公开场合中作正式演出、或作职业式的演唱，只不过是寄出一卷为朋友小孩录製的催眠曲，去应徵一份刊登在 The Village Voice 上的广告，就此成为了 Hem 的主力之一，以她清透如水晶、温婉甜蜜又优雅的声音，编织出
这张《 Rabbit Songs 》的美丽童话世界。
第一首只有短短几句的清唱曲 “Lord, Blow the Moon Out Please” 事实上就是Sally Ellyson 当初寄到 Hem 应徵的录音带原貌，声音魅力已经不用多说，”When I Was Drinking” 呈现出的孤寂感受，更让人进一步深入 Hem 音乐的情感核心，在简单曲式中，晕染出极为複杂的感情层次，迷幻吉他滑弦更是动听无比。接下来的 “Half Acre”、”Burying Song”、”Betting on Trains” 等歌曲，都展现了典型传统民谣的风貌，充满草根气息，另外更以大提琴、中提琴、竖笛、长笛、双簧管……等其它乐器添加了旋律的深度，呈现出温暖的怀旧氛围，歌词直捣生命意义、心灵的探索、梦与醒的分界，呈现一种略带宗教情怀的宽容与体谅。
而专辑同名曲 “Idle (The Rabbit Song)” 则在让人生喘息的豁达心境之外，同时展现一种大隐於世的价值观，藉由暂时的 idle，让世界运转，而自己的爱则能够继续……一种近乎童稚的纯真美好，令人神往。
听 Sally Ellyson 的声音，的确是一种享受，Hem 丰富而不累赘的编曲，更使整体的音乐感毫不单薄、处处充满令人惊喜的感觉，这一切，便足以使得
《 Rabbit Songs 》成为最能紓解压力的一张专辑，一张让人敞开心胸由衷喜爱的专辑。
Hem是支安静的乐队，很优美地讲述着旅行的故事。美国的地理总给我很奇妙的感受~
