Hammock – Kenotic [album download]
I was unloading some handpicked artists onto a friend’s machine earlier today and realize that i had been neglecting an old friend. Hammock is a two-member (Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson) post-rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. I initially received these files from my good friend Whisper a few years back, who she apparently received from our friend Jesse, so i want to thank you both for the peace you granted me through this music. Me and Whisper used to lay in bed or sit in the bath listening to this album on repeat, sometimes every night for weeks straight. If you need to unwind, hang out with whisper, or if you cant do that, listen to Hammock. Hammock combines live instrumentation, electronic beats, and droning guitar into atmospheric dreamscapes as i call them. Similar in style to the work of Boards of Canada, Explosions in the Sky, Steve Roach, Harlod Budd, Sigür Ros, and Stars of the Lid. I hope you enjoy this as much as i swoon over it. Whisper if you’re reading this, i love you and i still wear the tie you bought me.
Pretty soon i’ll upload a sleepy time torrent consisting of all my favorite dreamscape tracks. will be called:”Arms of Morpheus, Land of Nod”, keep a look out on piratebay or demonoid, will also be posted here.
Listen: Track 2 off of Kenotic (2005)

among all else that is the happened, the morning i discovered this went into print, i woke up in jeff bass‘ mansion in west bloomfield. thank you Alicia and Kacy for being so hospitable. That was by far the best showing of Ferris Bueller’s Day Out ever. Sha nana na nana na. and… “there’s a big ole’ hole, i’m creepin’ in”. i know that really doesn’t cover any of the events that took place that week, but who will remember anyway? i will. i adore you both. i havent felt this great in a long time.
i also wanna thank publicist Jessica Linker at Pitch Perfect PR for pulling that together and making life a little easier.

In addition…
In addition to the photos Christos and I shot of Analena, we also ran into a few groups of people. I didn’t get photos of everyone, but I managed to grab some. I will be adding to this gallery later, but here are a couple shots I promised.

metro times cover shot
i knew this shoot was meant for analena. i havent seen all the shots, but skimming through the first ten i can already see the cover is going to be a tough call, i’m posting these for now. these shots are un-shopped aside from saturation. shoot wouldnt have been possible without grip [Josh Hanford]
