Yellowcard + Hammock collab 2024-01-13 by AlexTM510 | 26 Comments | Yellowcard and post-rock ambient giants Hammock, drop a surprise re-worked version of Ocean Avenue.
Ryan of Yellow stated:“Yellowcard is in a new place where we are collaborating with other artists more than ever before. I have found @hammockmusic in my top three most played artists every year for nearly a decade now. I still can’t quite believe it’s real, that we were able to create an entire album with a band that has had such a massive influence on us. Whether it is one of our well known songs or a deeper cut, these versions bring with them completely new interpretations and meanings for listeners who have lived with them for so many years.
During the 6 years that Yellowcard was apart, I was constantly searching for ways to continue my career as a musician and producer. I had the idea to basically do Yellowcard covers featuring friends and artists I’ve had the pleasure of knowing throughout my career. The first artist to reply and complete a collaboration was Hammock with their reworked version of ‘Empty Street’.
Hammock are one of the defining and most pioneering artists in the post rock and ambient space. We have taken so much inspiration from their work over the years so first becoming friends, and then unexpectedly getting to work together on new music were dreams come true.
For each of these songs I just sent over a lead vocal and a piano and Hammock reinvented these songs in way that only they could do. It is such an honor to have worked on ‘A Hopeful Sign’ with such talented humans, and this record will be something we cherish forever.”
From Marc Byrd of Hammock: "In reality… our music is pure emo, if by emo we mean “very emotional.” As so many of our listeners have said, “hammock have all the feels.” Hearing these songs stripped back and laid bare was a great experience. Whatever emo is… whoever Yellowcard and Hammock are supposed to be… at the end of the day, we’re just hoping the music can bring a lump in the throat, an ache in the chest or an elevation of spirit. If the music is really good, it can do it all at the same time. That’s the mystery. So whether we call it emo or just good music, the window dressing and descriptions mean nothing and serve only to distract if the music doesn’t stir the soul. Cheers to Yellowcard for asking us to come along and join the ride."
The full collab album A Hopeful Sign will be released February 9, 2024 via Equal Vision. It will feature full re workings of various songs from Yellowcard’s discography.

Bro what
| | |
this is cool
| | |
HOLY SHIT. this is amazing
| | |
wtf
| | |
Not sure if it's obvious since all the posts by YC seem weirdly vague, but it's just reimaginings of existing YC songs. Could still be cool, but it's not a "new LP" (this is how they keep promoting it, which I find mildly irritating despite being a big fan) at least by how I define an LP.

this is quite nice but i can't imagine enjoying a whole album of it
| | |
Yeah, I agree. I hope things are more varied (including the vocals) on other tracks and that the entire thing isn't Ryan's exact same inflections just slowed down.
| | |
i really loved hammock's orchestral, slower works more than the post-rocky/more upbeat stuff so it's a little disappointing to see the recent embrace of more upbeat and busy stuff. they are really skilled with minimalism so i hope their next works embrace the mysterium/oblivion hymns vibe a bit more.
| | |
dag, their orchestral streak has been what's kept me away from checking in on them for some time, feels like each song has followed an incredibly similar formula and left little to the imagination from track to track. I did think for the most part Silencia was pretty good though
| | |
This is weird. But I am happy hammock is embracing post rock instead of giving the same ambient album again. It was great a decade ago but more everything and nothing, less mysterium pls
| | |
I’m down
| | |
liked this a lot
| | |
Agreed comatorium
