Hammock - Kenotic


Click Here To Download



"Hammock makes highly atmospheric, largely instrumental music that bridges the ambient and post-rock genres. Like many ambient albums, KENOTIC is mostly concerned with textures and a sense of swirling motion, yet the instrumentation--bass, drums, guitars, and keys--is associated with traditional rock. Hammock relies heavily on production techniques and guitar effects (mostly chorus, delay, and reverb) to achieve a rich, dreamy sound that recalls Sigur Ros, My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, and Explosions in the Sky... The rhythm section and the low-end synth effects create a pulsing bottom to the ethereal guitar flights, keeping the whole thing grounded, even while each track carries the listener to a soft and gauzy realm. KENOTIC will certainly appeal to fans of experimental rock, and, because it is delicate, lilting, and provides an excellent soundtrack to meditation and yoga, it should appeal to devotees of ambient, New Age, and adult-contemporary instrumental music as well." -cduniverse.com
