Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a profound transition toward neoclassical textures, 'Oblivion Hymns' represents the sixth studio album from Hammock. The duo swaps their signature heavy post-rock drum kits for neoclassical string arrangements, children's choirs, and glockenspiel accents. The result is a gorgeous, somber, and deeply spiritual ambient liturgy that honors the passing of loved ones with a majestic sense of peace.
