Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their fourth studio album, 'Chasing After Shadows… Living With the Ghosts' represents a majestic and highly melodic milestone in Hammock's discography. The album incorporates larger, more structured dream-pop vocal lines alongside their signature, towering post-rock crescendos and hazy ambient backdrops. Lyrically and musically, the compositions deliver a poignant, comforting exploration of memory, loss, and the quiet passage of time.
