Exclusive ambient EP with four songs unavailable anywhere else. Released as part of a limited edition book by the same title and packaged with a copy of Chasing After Shadows...Living With The Ghosts.
"North West East South" is a hardback, linen-bound volume that features 100 images Thomas Petillo shot while on four photo trips with Hammock from 2004-2009 (includes all album covers).
The book is numbered out of 287 and signed by Marc Byrd, Andrew Thompson, and Thomas Petillo.

Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop an Echo is the anticipated follow up to Hammock’s debut, Kenotic, a record that All Music Guide described as ''in every way a contender for classic status in the Shoegazing genre.'' The duo’s eighteen newest tracks will do little to change that cross-genre appeal. Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop an Echo is characterized by the duo’s hallmark: thick curtains of cascading electric guitars that merge into pure expressions of hope, stillness, joy and loss. Accompanied by strings, piano, ethereal vocals and an occasional undercurrent of percussion, these beautiful, layered guitar washes range from whisper-soft minimalism to moments of driving, slow-burn intensity. Simply put, Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson make music that is filled with human passion and emotion.

After four well-loved and critically lauded recordings, Hammock returns with a 2008 special release, Maybe They Will Sing for Us Tomorrow, which features eleven new songs and original artwork by Riceboy Sleeps (Jonsi Birgisson of the Grammy-nominated Sigur Ros and Alex Somers of Parachutes). At the invitation of Birgisson and Somers, Hammock gave their first-ever live performance at the after party celebration of the Riceboy Sleeps overseas debut art exhibition, held in Hot Springs, AR in August, 2007.

'Chasing After Shadows...Living with the Ghosts'', Hammock's fourth album, captures the duo transitioning into a much larger, darker sound and merging their signature cosmic guitar washes with massive layers of live, acoustic instruments and thick analog tones. Masterfully mixed by Tim Powles, member of The Church, ''Chasing'' transcends a mere listening experience by its emotional intensity and sheer beauty and is somehow able to convey one's innermost longings into sound, making for an indescribable affirmation of the spirit.
