Hammock - Mysterium - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

8-panel digipak, 2 x CD

2016 . Hammock returns with Everything and Nothing, the Nashville duo's first full-length album since 2013's critically-acclaimed Oblivion Hymns. With Everything and Nothing, Hammock has entered oblivion - a place of personal struggle, doubt, and change - and come out the other side; hopeful. The experience is meticulously woven into each song, shared with listeners through intricate melodies, compelling beats and solemn vocals. In some ways, Everything and Nothing is the spiritual successor to the band's 2006 breakout album Raising Your Voice... Trying to Stop an Echo. It recalls the same mastery of sound and storytelling, destined to spark every listener's imagination. Mixed by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Jónsi) and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound.

Akasha was the brainchild of New Yorker Phil Valentine of the legendary NY funk outfit High Fashion which was part of producers and funk masters Jacques Petrus and Mauro Malavasi's camp. Featured here is the original 12Inch version of InchThunder in Your LoveInch recorded in 1984 for the legendary Street Level tag. The New York sessions that produced this single featured players from the popular New York funk band, Change, including Kevin InchCrabInch Robinson, Timmy Allen and Johnny Kemp. InchThunder in Your LoveInch has gone on to become a boogie classic and the original 12Inch vinyl is highly sought after in collector's circles. Also included on this maxi-single is a bonus instrumental, acappella, and club mix. All selections newly remastered.
