The most challenging part of MAYBE THEY WILL SING FOR US
TOMORROW (61'10") by Hammock is staying awake until it
ends. On their fifth release the duo of Mark Byrd and Andrew
Thompson offer 11 pillow-soft tracks. From ambient lullabies to
panoramic anthems this album rings with music from out of the
American Elsewhere. Layers of reverberating guitar fill the
cavernous soundfield, the pluck of the strings truncated to round
off any edge. Digital processing extends the range of their
instruments and lends the music a symphonic character. The
occasional appearance of a string section and cello adds to this
mystique. Vast, delicate and majestic, MAYBE THEY WILL SING
FOR US TOMORROW fits in well alongside Lanterna, Jeff
Pearce and Robin Guthrie, as well as the instrumental works of
Sigur Ros. This kind of music deepens us, extending our
feelings through its poetic vision.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from MAYBE
THEY WILL SING FOR US TOMORROW by Hammock
