    Hem: Rabbit Songs
    A lovely, handcrafted joy, this debut masterpiece features the amateur, knowing voice of Sally Ellyson (who landed the gig by responding to an ad in the paper) and songwriter Dan Messé (who sold off most of his belongings to make this). Truly an album, yet made up of several fabulous tunes, Hem manages to be spare and lush at the same time, while creating what they called an album they could love the rest of their lives. (****)
