Album Review

Nashville duo have their heads in the clouds
Nashville, TN duo Hammock's latest release for Darla is an amazing set of soaring instrumentals. Unlike the static sound created by some other ambient knob twiddlers, Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow ignores the impulse to unleash a flat sine wave and blithely stare. The entire album floats on an echo-y haze, but this isn't drone; dreamy synths and cello twist and curve to alluring effect. Jonsi from Sigur Ros pushed Hammock to release this album (he also co-produced the cover art) and the kinship is evident. Much of Maybe They Will Sing plays like () on 3/4 speed - waves of sound ebbing and flowing, Hammock clearly have their heads in the clouds. Let's hope they stay up there.
