  • Bio

    Whether the dreams brought on the fever or the fever brought on the dreams Walter Gilman did not know... possibily he ought not to have studied so hard. Non-Euclidean calculus and quantum physics are enough to stretch any brain; and when one mixes them with folklore, and tries to trace a strange background of multi-dimensional reality behind the ghoulish hints of the Gothic takes and the wild whispers of the chimney-corner, one can hardly expect to be wholly free from mental tension. ..! .. H.P Lovecraft At the Mountains of Madness .. .. hi! we're a band. we've just finished recording our first EP. Produced by Morgan McWaters (The Emergency, Eastern Grey and a bunch of other amazing things) and mastered by Casey Rice (Tortise, Aleks and the Ramps and much much more). It's going to be released on Special Award Records in November, vinyl and digital only. and you can email us here:.. hello@hammocksandhoney.com

  • Sounds Like

    warm blankets
"it’s surreal and genuinely spooky and seems to propel forward on its own bizarre logic. It’s also extra beautiful and totally intriguing. Prue Rees-Lee’s breathy vocals seem to float down from some high place, while the hypnotic, pulsating beats and synths recall Massive Attack or, more recently, Washed Out."
ALTERED ZONES

"In “Simple Things” singer Prudence Rees-Lee isn’t trying to move against the music. She isn’t waxing philosophical in opposition to the movement of the track in order to sell something, nor is she so buried in it’s sweetness as to make her voice and lyrics so non-contrasting as to be unimportant. Instead she drifts along with it with just the right amount of involvement, harmonizing and cooing in powerful emotional compliment to the production wrapping around her."
DEAD AS DIGITAL (USA)

"lush pieces of purest dream pop with an otherworldly and decade-transcending synth section."
NO FEAR OF POP (GERMANY)

"Delicate, dreamy melodies piled high with hazy layers are pushed along by an almost inaudible propulsion (the songs move, but the beats are barely there), particularly on Sleeping Carriage. Elsewhere, there are flourishes of twee pop and folk, but the record never feels quite of this world."
ROSE QUARTZ

"an atmospheric bump in the dark with a simmering melody and warm atmospherics."

    Yea baby, don't you know it: you might see me in a black turtleneck and oversized corduroy jacket if we don't run into each other soon. And sadly I'm performing next week at the Actor Buddhs residency but it's around the corner so I'll pop into Yah Yahs too. You are on 5 out of 5 so it will prob. be late hey. The art for your record looks amazing BTW, a bit Clifford Possum.

    Yeaaaah! No gigs on the 30th! See you there. Just nursing a hang over from a two week binge, because that's just how rock n roll we are, with the drinking, etc.
