A full rundown of dates can be found below.   Written in their hometown and recorded remotely from home studios during lockdown, “Operators” is the only song of the band’s new releases that is directly about 2020. They'd always wanted to collaborate with their good friend, Bodye, and when Henry Solomon (Haim, Thumpasaurus) joined on saxophone, the track came to life. Vocalist Isaac Flynn has this to say on it: "I wrote it right when all of the protests started in the summer, and the chorus in particular is about when the officers, national guard and even some of the city officials would act like they were with the protestors in solidarity, and then turn around and gas and attack them. That's where the idea of "they're saying: tell me where you want me to be, tell me what you want and you need, you can tell me" originated from. They were acting like they were there to help, but it was all for show. It all felt almost cartoonishly villainous to me. I wanted to reflect that in the lyrics and in the dark, dance heavy groove of the song.  LISTEN TO “OPERATORS (FEAT. BODYE)” HERE    “Operators” and “Reach Out” mark the first music Hembree have released since their debut album, 2019’s House on Fire. Coming off a stretch of touring the band were ready to channel the energy of being on the road into their next artistic statement. They found themselves in the studio before the pandemic and when the world shut down, it gave the band an opportunity to look inwards and refine their own sonic approaches while embracing a newfound maturity.  Hembree tour dates 11/4 State College, PA Stage West * 11/5 Buffalo, NY Town Ballroom * 11/6 Harrisburg, PA HMAC * 11/19 Providence, RI The Met * 11/20 Providence, RI The Met * 11/26 Kansas City, MO The Truman 12/3 Burlington, VT Higher Ground * 12/4 Rochester, NY Anthology *   * = Supporting Ripe

Past praise for Hembree "With poignant lyrics and a melody that loops around in your head, ‘Culture’ -- which also draws on the boundary-pushing production of hip-hop, and blends it with classic beat-infused rock -- is something uniquely HEMBREE." Billboard "(’Almost’ is a) contagiously upbeat track." Earmilk "The upbeat rhythms and sunny choruses from Hembree might make you think they come from L.A., but the burgeoning indie-rock group are actually heroes in Kansas City’s flourishing music scene." SF Weekly "“Culture” is a hell of a ride, and a sign of great things to come from Hembree!" Atwood "The dynamism of the band’s bag of talents, just drip over and flow like it’s no one’s business." Come Here Floyd Find Hembree here Hembreemusic.com YouTube ** Instagram ** Facebook ** Twitter
