Eveningland
Eveningland is the second album by indie folk group Hem. It was released on Rounder Records after a delay caused by the folding of the DreamWorks music division. The album features a cover of Johnny Cash's famous song "Jackson," as well as more orchestral arrangements, a change from the sometimes-stark instrumentation of their previous album, Rabbit Songs.

gollark: The whatnow?
gollark: This is slower than rust, which manages to do this extremely fast using bees.
gollark: Nim does decently well at my very unscientific web fastness benchmark™, managing 1ms average latency on a test where it generates a simple HTML page and sends it.
gollark: Yes, the """orc""" thing.
gollark: This is ridiculous and stupid, how does it detect cycles?
