This album is all about texture, and substance, and the fact that they say so much with so little sonority. The atmosphere shifts from warm colors of yellow and orange to colder ones of blue and purple. Perhaps the best thing that I can say about their work is that no singular feeling can come from the album, meaning that to each listener, the album will mean something personal. For me, it’s about that gratifying and rewarding experience of finding love or being in love. But anyone who is knows that it comes with its share of work…that is the burden of love. It’s a beautiful and heartbreaking thing at the same time, and no one works better with these life paradoxes than HAMMOCK.
