Hem makes me like country music again

I picked up their sophomore effort, Eveningland, at eMusic, and have been listening to it in nonstop rotation, with my other faves from this weekend, Of Montreal and Zeroleen.

Maybe I'm a little late to the Hem party, but this 8-piece group from Brooklyn (!) sounds straight out of Nashville or LA, circa 1974. Think of the Carpenters, or Linda Ronstadt, but slightly grittier and no sugary sweet ickyness that makes me throw up in my mouth a little when listening to the over-produced country of the mid-seventies. They would be a perfect match on a bill with My Morning Jacket and Wilco, actually.
