Hemy- 2013-2020

HemyAndMarshall Rise & Fall EP on TripleJ Unearthed

  • World I Live sounding for all the world like The Whitlams c.Pokies and Trophy Wives “In It For The Money” c.2004
  • Sanctify rocks it up along Elton John’s lines on Yellow Brick Road, including a flautist Jethro Tull-style but lacking the pace of a drum kit (TMBG sing that a song sounds like it has stopped without drums- while that isn’t true here, drums would help greatly)
  • Rise & Fall returns to the Whitlams muse with some harmonies in the chorus. 

The downloads and other stats from the page suggest some follow-up through TripleJ / Double J up to and immediately after the release of this record; and Hemy’s solo effort early last month suggests little more came from it. It is always disappointing to hear one release and then no more. 

Hemy Brave through iTunes A week short of 6yr later and Hemy is out on his own with Brave through iTunes. As the blurb on the HemyAndMarshall page suggests, this collection is slower and more soulful than the earlier-collective outing. 

Suitcase Heart, the standout of this offering, brings a jazzier version of “Rise & Fall” to our ears with vocals akin to Pinky Beecroft of Machine Gun Fellatio fame. 

Hemy: available through iTunes for those times when you need a break from headbashing, doov, or pop-cheese.
