Oblivion Hymns

Hammock

Massive orchestral swells and children's choirs submerged in miles of reverb. A cinematic, neoclassical meditation on loss that feels like a slow-motion exhale.

It's like floating through a cathedral made of clouds and old memories.

A majestic and mournful beauty that feels like a sacred space for processing loss.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden emergence of a children's choir through the wall of guitar noise on track one, sounding like a distant memory.
The way the strings on 'Like a Valley With No Echo' stretch into an eight-minute meditation on space and silence.
The final, fragile piano notes of 'Tres Dominé' that feel like a door gently closing on a massive hall.
