punkbeatjohn Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I did a quick search and realized that this hasn't been posted yet. Maybe They Will Sing for Us Tomorrow RemasteredFive years ago on May 6th, 2008 we released Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow. It was a different record for us. We had been invited to play at the Riceboy Sleeps art exhibit after party. It would be our first live show. Since it would just be the two of us performing we had to write material specific to the event. Of course it was intimidating because both Jonsi Birgisson from Sigur Rós and the gentle natured, multitalented Alex Somers would be sitting in the audience just a few feet away from us. Nothing to worry about though, they were absolute sweethearts. Jonsi toasted us in the middle of the set, which helped soothe our nerves, and you could sense their genuine appreciation for our performance. (On a personal note, my favorite memory was when Jonsi sang to me while we were just sitting around and talking about creating loops and soundscapes.) Andrew and I came back home and decided to create a record out of the music we had written for the after party. There were no beats on the record, just pure ambience and a few cellos added to sweeten things up. We finished recording and Jonsi and Alex asked if Riceboy Sleeps could create the artwork after we asked them for permission to use the title, "Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow." So here we are now with a remastered version and and a gorgeous vinyl release. Why? When we brought the original recordings to the mastering session the title track had been bounced down at the wrong sample rate so it wasn't in an actual key. It was between two keys. When we performed it live we would play it in the proper key and it just sounded better to us. So we approached Taylor Deupree and asked him to do a new mix of the title track and remaster the whole record. The record now sounds like it's in 3D and the title track is now true to our original vision. So rich and warm. As for the vinyl… Well a lot of you have been asking for vinyl from us so this is kind of a test to see how it goes. But the main reason is the artwork. Vinyl sized artwork by Riceboy Sleeps. It's gorgeous and it's just nice to be able to hold it in your hands. Not to mention the warm sound of vinyl. This is a unique recording within the Hammock catalog. Unique in the way it was created, in it's sonic texture and artwork.We're very proud of this and you can get it in a few different forms: A double vinyl edition with a CD version of the record in a black sleeve; a CD digipack; a deluxe edition featuring the double vinyl, a full CD digipack, and a limited edition vinyl test pressing of the record. All versions of the remastered album come with a digital download. Click hereto get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Nice to see them putting their beautiful music on vinyl. They had a nice deal a few months ago (search for thread) on Stranded... and Asleep.... I want to say like $18ppd for both (so many nice colors, but couldn't justify $14 a pop for Asleep). They are DIY re: packing/shipping IIRC, and I was blown away -- ordered on a Monday, playing them on Wednesday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ordering this as soon as I get paid. Hammock makes incredible music (and has sadly been neglected on vinyl). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
