Departure Songs

Hammock

Two hours of massive, reverb-drenched guitar swells and angelic vocals. A cinematic double album exploring the heavy intersection of love, loss, and presence.

September 30, 2012 · White Wabbit Records

A monumental and cinematic exploration of grief that finds a strange, soaring beauty in the act of letting go.

Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, wall-of-sound guitar swell that peaks at the four-minute mark of track 2, feeling like a physical wave of relief.
The transition into track 7 where the dense instrumentation suddenly evaporates into a haunting, isolated silence.
The moment the intelligible lyrics emerge from the reverb wash in track 10, turning an abstract mood into a piercingly personal confession.
