Hammock release new songs, "The Second Coming Was A Moonrise" and "Sadness"
Hammok have released their double single "The Second Coming Was A Moonrise" / "Sadness", taken from their upcoming album, The Second Coming Was A Moonrise.
"The Second Coming Was A Moonrise" is the longest track on the record, inspired by an LSD trip that Marc Byrd had in his youth, which led him to believe that he was experiencing the Rapture. Speaking about the song, he explains: "This track takes some twists & turns, much like a psychedelic experience I had with a friend in my younger days. Being raised religious fundamentalists we mistook a moonrise shining from behind some hills for what we thought was the second coming of Christ. Enjoy the trip."
Discussing "Sadness", Byrd adds: "There’s something profound about the simplicity of both the music and title of this track. Like an audio summary of what we’ve sounded like through the years… A throwback as well as a continuation of moving forward… Like a sadness we get used to, yet still push through."
The Second Coming Was A Moonrise is released on 22 May
