Hymn and Her
Hymn and Her is the sixth album by the American indie rock band Earlimart. It was announced in March by Aaron Espinoza and was released in the US on July 1, 2008 via Major Domo Records and Shout! Factory, and a day later in Japan, via Youth Records. Hymn and Her marks where Earlimart now consists of just the duo of Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray, and also is the duo's second album in under a year, following on from August 2007's Mentor Tormentor. This also marks the second time Murray sings lead vocals. The first came when she provided lead vocals for Mentor Tormentor's "Happy Alone."

Allmusic awarded the album with 4 out of 5 stars, and stated that Hymn and Her "...sounds intimate, as if the bandmates have discovered how to funnel their densely populated songs into warm, mellow washes of sound."
