Hammock is an American ambient/post-rock duo hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, composed of Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson. Formed in 2003, Hammock quickly gained recognition for their ethereal soundscapes, blending lush melodies with atmospheric tones that evoke a sense of introspection and serenity. Their music is often characterized by the use of shimmering guitar work, celestial electronics, and minimalistic percussion, creating a boundless sonic universe that invites listeners to immerse themselves in contemplative tranquility.

Over the years, Hammock has consistently produced work that has not only defined their genre but has also pushed the boundaries of ambient music. Their discography boasts a catalog of releases that explore the depths of human emotion, with themes surrounding loss, love, and the passage of time featuring predominantly in their compositions. Among their most recent offerings include tracks such as "Love in the Void" and "UnTruth," which showcase the duo's continued evolution in sound.
