Kansas outfit Hembree dissects matters of the heart on rollocking indie pop anthem “Almost”

Gleeful riffs latch on and refuse to relinquish their grip on “Almost”, Hembree's frenetic guitar work delivered with a laser-sharp urgency, whilst stomping beats imbue the track with a pounding pulse as frontman Isaac Flynn recounts bittersweet snippets of a love that has chilled.

“The song is through the lens of a relationship, where someone is all in and someone isn’t. This concept applies to all of life's relationships. There has to be a balance when it comes to dependency.” shares Flynn, the band’s vocalist and guitarist. “It's a familiar feeling that I think we've all dealt with, and ‘Almost’ is about getting through that stage and reflecting on all you went through.

“It's a song with a bit of lament. A 'what could we have been?' scenario. Lately, I’ve been finding more depth in the narrative, and I love that I’m still discovering meaning in this song”.
