Funnel Cloud is the fourth album by
folk rock band
Hem. It was released on
Nettwerk on
September 5,
2006. Considered the band's most ambitious work to date, they recorded the album accompanied by a 21-piece orchestra, as well as
James Iha of the
Smashing Pumpkins.
The concept was conceived on the day of lead singer Sally Ellyson's wedding, during which the party had to evacuate to storm cellars due to a number of tornadoes that touched down in the area.
