Hammock - Shipwrecked (Float on your Back)

[antolus22]

i hard suggest to watch sigur ros - E Bow

[pablovirus]

The lyris are so sad, yet so true. The instrumental just conveys this feeling so well... This band is amazing.

[machinevsfascist]

@kasuskasus Yeah man, that album's great... and the sweet thing is Kranky has reissued it on Vinyl. Have you checked out the offshoots from SOTL? Have you heard A Winged Victory for the Sullen yet? Dustin O'halleran, Celler are a great listen too, and you mite also like Hauschka. Check out his piece called Ping.

[machinevsfascist]

@kasuskasus Sorry I'm a bit late but you'd be doing yourself a huge faver if you peaped Stars of the Lid, especially their two latest albums, The Tired sounds of... and ... And Their Refinement of the decline. Then work your way back to their more spacerock influenced material from the 90s. All of the ofshoots from SOTL are worth your time as well if you dig their ambients.

[komar4life]

3 stooges dont like this nice song..

[Anthonyissoawesome]

When I listen to this I picture floating on a calm ocean at night just stargazing without a care in the world. This is why ambient music is so amazing.

[RealBloppy]

Can't get over how good this song is. It hypnotizes the soul.

[freshgeo909]

soothing and amazing.

[sunslastphase]

It's crazy how this song can inspire so much emotion and memories. Music like this is a blessing. It allows people to FLOAT in their own minds and release all the superficial junk that bogs down their life. Just for the moment the song is playing you can feel truly weightless and free.

[Skoople88]

@sunslastphase I was driving through a gulley this afternoon towards a beautiful sunset while listening to this song and felt exactly how you described here. Thank you for putting it into words :)

[sunslastphase]

@Skoople88 my pleasure. I just came back and saw youtube decided to post my comment 50 times lol! Anyways, when i heard this song, those thoughts just poured out of me - it is an incredibly inspiring piece of music.

[sunslastphase]

@Skoople88 Im glad i could do that for you, and im glad that you listen to this kind of music :D

[TheSkapando]

Un trozo de cielo!!!

[theblackmothproject]

OMG i have had their music since 2006!!! and they dont have this album on iTunes. They have their newer music. they need to publish this album on iTunes like...now.

[onlytime111222]

[TheJacksterman]

I thought this song was called (Flat on your back) but is it really float?

[inasafeplace]

Shipwrecked (Flat On Your Back)

[DrScarecrow51]

I totally agree sooner! you can listen to this and get lost in your thoughts so easy

[sooner0021]

This song is the best song when it comes to relaxing and just thnking about anyhting.

[dylanweistaids]

best song to masturbate too imo

[Falke58]

Cool & Nice one. Thanks.

Michael/Falke58

[untiltheend22]

On a cold night

We lay down

Under starlight

We breakdown

Spend our whole life

Seeking shelter

Til the last time,

Gone forever...

amazing lyrics but yet so simple and beautiful

[ACERAMGAD]

Shhh......i feel great!!!!!!! thank you song)

[philm00r]

This song has invoked emotions within me that I didn't know existed.

[boxanova66]

@philm00r yes, that is called homosexuality

[philm00r]

@boxanova66 actually, homosexuality is not an emotion, however; I will still spoon with you if you want mkays???

[philm00r]

This Will Destroy You is another good one.

[carterusm]

Hammock are my personal favourite, TWDY being my more 'rocky' post-rock preference. Hell I just love Hammock though, the most aptly named band to ever exist..

[seedsoul1]

Forever immersed in your magnitude Who is songing this?!?! I need to know my tear ducts are swelling up

[destructionblade]

as the title says it´s from the band hammock

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

@destructionblade

Maybe they meant who did the vocals, damn and it's your video, i'll give you a thumbs down for your arrogance.

[callmekeegan]

well explosions in the sky, the souls release( you can find him on myspace), this will destroy you, saxon shore, the six parts seven.

[kasuskasus]

Can anyone recommend more music like Hammock? Band like Sigur Ros, The American Dollar, Alcest... I'd appreciate it, thanks!

[destructionblade]

well It´s up to your taste I think, If you like to more shoegazer stuff then I´d say check out Auburn Lull, July Skies, A Shoreline Dream, Mahogany etc, and If you like it more like the whole post rock thing, I´d recommend Daturah, Yndi Halda, Balmorhea and so on, hope you´ll like it

[SorryArchitect]

@destructionblade Treebeard and Of Machines, but they're both kinda post-hardcore/ambient.

[joes28]

Mogwai

[willwoodward99]

god speed you black emporer

[EP4LFC]

In terms of Hammock, I would say Eluvium is close and very good. In terms of post rock, I don't believe it gets any better than Explosions in the Sky; but like destructionblade said, its ultimately down to your taste.

[kasuskasus]

Thanks! To narrow it down, what are the better Eluvium albums in your opinion? Some I've heard are so-so, others, like Accidental Memory... is really nice.

[EP4LFC]

Accidental Memory is quite unique because it's his only all-piano album. He's really made his name as a result of his more ambient material such as his albums "Copia" and "Talk Amongst the Trees." It's hard to pick which one is beter. Copia may be a bit more varied but Talk is unbelievable at times. To be honest my favorite Eluvium album is actually "When I Live by the Garden & Sea". It starts out with some nice piano and goes into some amazing ambient tracks.

[kasuskasus]

Thanks alot, I'll check it out.

[raaaaaarr]

I've listened to this for 2 hours.

[ldixon11]

Very nice. Just now discovering this group.

I've been wondering whether there's another group in the same league as Sigur Ros - this group comes close! They are also similar to a group called "Rachel's".

[destructionblade]
