Hem's exquisitely beautiful music is matched by the honeyed pipes of singer Sally Ellyson and songs that sometimes take deliciously surprising thematic leaps, such as the evocatively titled "Great Houses of New York," which details a failed relationship in a frame-by-frame montage of simple yet vivid images, or the title song with its pungent last line: "Change the way you see." And that's just what Hem does. Over what's now three albums (and another worthy collection of odds and sods), Hem's piquant melodies and evocative mental vistas beg a change in the way you listen, and yes, even see.
