With a title like “Dying Alone,” one cannot help but immediately get into a somber mood of reflection, melancholy, and sorrow. After all, we are all coffin bound, and many of us are destined to spend our final moments alone. I suppose that the current global situation has only exasperated our loneliness, a prospect that many of us are not welcoming in the very end. I remember having one of our last conversations with my grandmother. I remember her asking, “What happens next?” as I sat there holding her hand. “I don’t know what will come next,” she said as she drifted in and out of lucidity. “I think I know,” I said to myself, but my lips stayed sealed. I think I know, but then again, do I? Titles like “Dying Alone” can bring back repressed memories, stir up emotion, and color the way that I hear the sound. And it’s not the only introspectively titled piece on a new album by Hammock itself titled Elsewhere. And while these thoughts make me sullen and sad, there is a spark in the night that makes me want to reach up, out, and live. To that end, “Elsewhere serves as a gateway to another place, materializes feelings of separation and loss without closure, and calls listeners back to live their lives – not spend them longing to be something or somewhere else.” And that’s just the words – the music by Hammock is a whole other journey. I think it is fair to say that I have covered and picked nearly every album by Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson for my Best of the Year selections for every single year since I discovered the band in 2006. And I’m sure that I’ve got the 2021 pick right here. So without further ado, I’m honored to exclusively premiere for you a track titled “Dying Alone”.

"Seeking overlooked beauty and prizing reflection in a distracted world, Hammock creates cinematic music for the road less traveled. In stirring works of shimmering post-rock ambience that swell with hope and melancholic nostalgia, the Nashville-based duo of Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson immerse listeners in living visions of moments long past, animating life’s fond remembrances and scarring losses with gentle lens-flare harmonics, heart-surging neoclassical drama, and pensive silence. A direct challenge to the passive existence of modern life, where everything can be experienced but precious little is felt, Hammock demands, and richly rewards, patience and contemplation."

I've listened to this album more than a dozen times already, and I'm excited for you to hear the whole thing on November 5th, 2021, when it comes out on all of your favorite digital platforms. And yes, the world needs this on vinyl, but I suspect that the pressing is postponed as are all most recent releases. Quick recognition of two appearances on the album as well: Matt Slocum on the cello and Matt Kidd (aka Slow Meadow) on the piano. Oh, and have you noticed that the mixing, mastering, and cover art are done by Taylor Deupree? An amazing package of like-minded folks on this one.

LYRICS
Remain in the light
Go back to your quiet life 
with your poetry 
And tell me what it’s like to see so clearly 
And tell me what it’s like to see so clearly

Through an avalanche
Through an avalanche

All the things I couldn’t say
A void that draws me in until I disappear completely
I’m lost in the arc of sky moving silently
I’m lost in the arc of sky crossing silently

Through an avalanche
Through an avalanche

Lyrics:
I'll fill the gaps of erased tapes 
While you fastforward, I'll just play
Those melodies we never shared
And moments lost we've never had

You go ahead in your circle
I'm in reverse, we're stuck on pause
All that is left is a white noise
A sudden smile as fake as yours

And you are not here
But in my mind your voice is clear
And you are not here
I'll play this tape and disappear

A much more ambient track , this is based around looping synth parts and a minimal piano performance.
