Just want to say that I love Hammock's music and listen to it a lot while at work. Nice background music for getting stuff done.

I would mention my favorite album, but I own all of them and find it hard to choose.

I don't know the music, but I am a big fan of hammocks.

 

[xxracerxx]

I thought this was going to be about the Hammcock.

 

[Forearms]

Banana Hammocks?

Spoiler

No thanks.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Yes, I'm a huge fan of Hammock.

It's my #3 top artist according to Spotify's "your year of music 2014".

I love post-rock, it's my favourite genre with MONO (A Japanese post-rock band) being my favourite band in the genre which is a race against God Is An Astronaut in that place too.

I came in here expecting to see real canvas hammocks and express my love for them

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

You goofballs I didn't capitalize Hammock on accident. At least one of you knew what the hell I was talking about.

 

[InfernoNR]

Just started getting into them this year. I can't really say I have a favorite album yet, since I haven't listened to their entire discography yet, but it's all really good so far. I listen to them when I'm writing my case notes. I'd recommend all spotify users who are into hammock to check out spotify's "focus" playlist, it has tons of fantastic, similar music.

I came here for talk of relaxing in the shade of a tree.

Instead I got some band I've never heard of.

Is this like a sub-genre of Blue grass? I imagine a person lazing about suspended between the shade of two trees on a warm summer afternoon while playing a ukulele.

I love Hammock. Listen to them almost weekly while I'm working or driving.

My son was born while I Can Almost See You was playing.

"That’d be cool if Spider-Man shot hammocks instead of webs, y'know?. 'You’re not a criminal, but you do need to relax. Fwsht! Now go find two trees that are close together.'"

 

[TheAbsolution]

Awww, I thought this topic was about real hammocks.

 

[tycoonheart]

I always take hammocks with me when I go camping.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT IN QUOTES AND NOT CITE MITCH HEDBERG?!

This, or atleast banana hammocks. Booo.

 

[BumRush]

I don't know the music, but I am a big fan of hammocks.

Boom, done. I have these two trees that are about 15 feet apart. Picked a nice hammock from Hayneedle and strung it up between the trees. Wow.

You knew who it was. I knew who it was. Anyone else curious would google it and be introduced to the second-best standup ever. Win/win/win.

 

[teruterubozu]

I love anything with ambient guitars:

Hammock
Robin Guthrie
Michael Brook
Erik Wøllo
Steve Hillage
Robert Fripp (to some extent)

I'm afraid to ask: Who is the best?

 

[Übermatik]

Yeah! Been a fan since Kenotic, and got really involved in their sound when Raising Your Voice came out. Not really listened to them for a while, but Asleep in the Downlights was good. Honestly, I bought Departure Songs on CD, but never listened to it all the way through

If you're interested, I'd recommend Eluvium as a similar artist. Bit more drone, though.

Oh, and my favourite Hammock track I reckon... the one that sticks with me anyway.

Richard Pryor. Any other answer is wrong.

I am, really big fan of them. Listen to some Caspian and Explosions In the Sky if you haven't OP.


Post-rock is love, post-rock is life!
