Hammock

Hammock came from the collaboration between Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson in 2004, based in Nashville, Tennessee. Initially, the recording sessions had to remain informal, but after gathering more than 40 pieces, the duo changed his mind. This is how their first album Kenotic , ep Stranded Under Endless Sky Ep in 2005 and Raising Your Voice... Trying To Stop An Echo in 2006. Hammock combines Rock instruments, Field Recordings and electronic elements to experiment at the intersections of Shoegaze, Dream-Pop, Post-Rock and Ambient. The band performed its first live performance on August 3, 2007 in honour of a concert by Jonsi&Alex (Sigur Ros , Parachutes ), a performance they inspired for the release of Maybe They Sing For Us Tomorrow in 2008. Two years later, Hammock released the album Chasing After Shadows...Living With The Ghosts as well as the Eps Longest Year and North West East South at the end of the year. In 2011, a collaboration with Stve Kilbey and Tim Powles of The Church was established as Asleep In The Downlights. Departure Songs appeared the following year in double album format and Oblivion Hymns , in perpetual search of light, appeared in 2013, still on their own label Hammock Music.
