"Listening to my new favorite band, Hammock. Mesmerizing and inspirational. They're like Radiohead does the best film score ever. Hammock is like wine and slippers to me now. And trust me when I say that's the biggest compliment possible." - Ricky Gervais

"7.6…speaks to all those things in our lives that aren't tangible, yet feel nearly within our grasp..." - Pitchfork

"Your albums are wonderful. You know the secret..." - Jónsi, Sigur Rós

"...crystalline guitar tones and gently pulsating synths convey a sense of broadness and space..." - The Wire

"...boundless, aquatic instrumental frescoes...an impeccable, womblike soundtrack." - Oxford American

"...operates outside of genre, far beyond the now obvious limitations of the dream pop/shoegaze scene Hammock cut their teeth in." - All Music Guide

"You can certainly see why the Sigur Rós front man is so taken with Hammock: you'd be hard-pressed to find any music under the loose banner of post-rock as unreservedly beautiful and stately..." - Boomkat

"...expansive and dramatic ambient post-rock…the kind that would fit perfectly as a soundtrack to a film." - Noisey / VICE

"Oblivion Hymns rewrites [Hammock's] script, bringing strings to the fore in a manner that would make composer Max Richter or Hammock’s peers in A Winged Victory For The Sullen proud." - MAGNET

Hammock is the duo of guitarists Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson. Ten years since their formation in Nashville, TN, the band has emerged as a leading light in modern music, with a unique sound that effortlessly melds elements of ambient, electronic, neoclassical and post-rock.

The cinematic quality of their music has translated into licensing credits with NBC, CBS, ABC, NFL, ESPN, CW, Warner Brothers Pictures, Showtime, Nike, national ad campaigns, public broadcasting networks BBC and NPR, and international stage productions and feature films. Their music has garnered praise from influential media such as Pitchfork, Noisey / VICE, The Wire, and BBC (who called their 2010 release "one of the most beautiful albums of the year"), and from fellow artists (and kindred spirits) Jonsi and Alex (Sigur Ros, Jonsi, Parachutes), who invited Hammock to give their first-ever live show at the overseas debut exhibition of their art project Riceboy Sleeps. The band's influential video "Breathturn", directed by David Altobelli, was featured on Coldplay's "Hypnofeed" and has received recognition from film festivals and award ceremonies across the globe.

Hammock has released seven LP's, two volumes of The Sleepover Series, several singles and benefit tracks ("For Nihon" for victims of the Hurricane and Tsunami in Japan, "...and darkness came" to assist victims of Hurricane Sandy, and "Disquiet" in 2017), and has created remixes for BT and Helios, among many others. Hammock released "Everything and Nothing" on April 1, 2016.
