Ambient Guitar
Upcoming Hammock Tour
Breaking from the strange monotony and abnormal norms that took hold during two years of pandemic life, Hammock returns with Love in the Void, an album that looks to the future, seizes the present, and unabashedly relishes the experiences and bonds that bring meaning to our days. Known for crafting orchestral works of stirring cinematic ambience, on Love in the Void the Nashville-based duo of Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson bring guitar-forward, heart- pounding urgency to songs that shout through and shatter the static of complacency. Love in the Void pulses with an unbridled spirit for action and experience and a burning desire for connection. Across songs that hammer home the keenly felt emotions of life’s highs and lows, Byrd and Thompson crest soaring crescendos awash in reverb and delve to keenly felt moments of quiet introspection. Lush and dramatic string orchestration from Matt Kidd (Slow Meadow) and emphatic drumming heighten the stakes in play, and Christine Byrd’s ethereal vocals leave mysteries lingering in the haze. Love in the Void is Hammock’s loudest album to date, embracing daring and vulnerability with palpable vitality at its core. Wide-eyed and looking forward, Love in the Void moves into an unknown future without fear. On August 30, 2024, the band announced “From the Void”, a collection of 8 songs, 4 of which were drawn from the “Love in the Void” recording sessions and 4 others inspired by the album.
