Byrd and Thompson, both primarily guitarists, have found their musical bonds becoming ever stronger over the last two decades as their shared work grows even more dramatic and richer, pursuing a feeling of sweeping, shimmering sonic awe that can never simply be summed up as anything other than itself.

"A Moonrise Was the Second Coming", out December 11, 2026 and the sequel to "The Second Coming Was a Moonrise", continues those sensations of exploration, feeling at once like one of their most intimate releases while exploring the rich sense of majesty that they can create in turn.

From Hammock's Marc Byrd: "It’s believed by some that after an event called the Second Coming, certain things will be left behind and cast into a lake of fire. The songs on 'A Moonrise Was the Second Coming' come from the same sonic universe as 'The Second Coming Was a Moonrise'. But unlike those poor lost souls cast into the furnace prepared for the Devil and his angels, we just couldn’t leave these songs behind.

So maybe the only Second Coming we’re getting is a moon rising over the horizon, music that makes the heart ache, and the slow realization that we’re still losing the ones we love—and that it hurts because they’re the ones we love . . . And like so many things, these songs make more sense when connected to the ones that came before them. Maybe we do, too."
