Departure and Farewell
I've been saying that Hem's new album, Departure and Farewell, was coming in 2012. Now Nettwerk is saying it too. That blurb also mentions that "Identical Snowflakes," Hem's holiday song released last week, will be one of the tracks on the album. You can find much more detail about song possibilities for the new album on its discography page.

Identical Snowflakes
Click here for the lyrics to Hem's new song "Identical Snowflakes." Remember how I said back in April that this song is so sweet you would have to like it? No lie. The line "this cumulus has no room for us," in particular, never gets old. Don't forget to check out Hem's previously released holiday songs: the classic song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and the Hem original "Peace At Last," which are both available on the Peace At Last EP. (Both songs were or are available a bunch of other places, but it's easiest to just mention the EP. If you want to find out about the various releases, visit the discography page.) "Identical Snowflakes" has its own brand new entry in the discography archive.
Mailing List
If you're not on Hem's official mailing list, fix that right now by entering your email address below. Otherwise, you will miss things like the message the band sent out today that, among other things, said "We'll have much more to share in 2012 - a couple of new records, new videos, new website." A couple. The message also said "check in with All About Hem," and that's also very important, in this website's biased opinion.

Random Discography Updates
The discography page has a couple new updates about old discs. First is an addition to the Eveningland Bonus Songs page of a CD version of the otherwise download-only bonus songs. The CD was only available at one record store (Laser's Edge in Birmingham, AL) when Eveningland was released. (Thanks, Greg!) Second is the compilation album Road Trip: American Singer Songwriters from 2008. That album includes Hem's song "An Easy One," which you can also find on Hem's album Eveningland. This news update clearly calls for a gratuitous sharing of Hem performing "An Easy One" at this show in New York.

New Song Coming Soon
Quick tease of an update: a new Hem song should be available later this month along with a video of some sort (Tweet & Facebook). My guess is the sweet holiday tune "Identical Snowflakes." Stay tuned!
