about
I was sitting in a park while my kids were riding their bikes when I received a message from the Ebinum brothers on Instagram. I was surprised as I had just come across their beautiful dance videos. They’re two young brothers from Lagos, Nigeria. I said I would love to collaborate with you, they said they had an idea for a short film and asked if I would create a song for it. They sent me the storyboard with the words, You are strong, you are perfect, you are not alone. When writing the song, I wanted to create something full of emotion, confidence and strength. I reached out to my frequent collaborators, Clarice Jensen to add Cello, Jake Falby for violin, James McAlister to add more synth textures and then, Saro to sing. I met Saro a couple years earlier, we spent a day in the studio together and I loved his voice and delivery. His vocal sits beautifully within the music. All of these incredible players collaborating truly captured the message the Ebinum Brothers and I wanted to share.

Lyrics written by THE EBINUM BROTHERS & SARO
You are strong
You are perfect
You are not alone
You are strong , You are strong
You have it all
You are important
You can see the other side
Hold on tight, enjoy the ride
You’ve come, so far
Born to treasure everyday
Light will always find a way
Into your heart
You are strong
You are perfect
You are not alone
You are strong , You are strong
You have it all
You are important
You can see the other side
Hold on tight, enjoy the ride
You’ve come, so far
Born to treasure everyday
Light will always find a way
Into your heart

by Hiro KoneIve followed Hiro Kone for years. Every record blows me away. Im constantly lost in her atmosphere and electronics. Her Production is always top notch !

I was blown away by "Symbolic Use of Light", She's just released Riven which is equally magical.

I grew up on bands like Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Joy Division, Slowdive etc.. This band reminds me of this era of music. And its dark and beautiful..

Four essential tracks hidden away on one side of a special vinyl edition. I love everything Hammock releases, but the more ambient they go, the more I love it.
