This is how I like my post-rock, when there are ambient elements in it and the atmosphere is often sad and melancholic, just like Bark Psychosis - Hex (well I also like very different post-rock like Jakob - Cale: Drew and the post-rock influenced songs in Fear Is On Our Side by the band I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness but those are exceptions).





Especially the song Winter Light gets to me every time I can't do anything against the tears. Then there are the brothers Through A Glass Darkly and Miles To Go Before Sleep which both come close to that melancholy.

This album is even number 6 in my top 101 electronic albums list but it really deserves it.





But I like to know are there post-rock bands and albums that are similar in atmosphere and melancholy to Hammock - Kenotic?

Yea, and in terms of similar stuff I'd say Helios, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, God is an Astronaut, Explosions in the Sky, Lights Out Asia, Slowdive (more shoegaze/dream pop), and the softer songs by Alcest and Deafheaven

as for similar atmosphere, i think memory stream by the american dollar provides the same kinda warm melancholy. it's just a bit heavier on the electronics

Always nice to see people rec Helios and Lights Out Asia. Also check out Oblivion Hymns by Hammock, has some of their best and saddest songs- esp the opener.

Really nailed their ambient side on this one. The longer tracks are wonderful too.

Earnest, open-hearted music that feeds your soul. Best place to start with Hammock is this album.
