Ambient Music Blog announced yesterday the new album: In Between Words by Christopher Bissonnette. Check out the article here.

Album: Island lover

Genre: Chillout

Artist: Lazy Hammock

Deep and warm vocals over breezy melodies take you to the hot beach of your dreams.

Lazy Hammock’s Island Lover is a collection of works covering a number of years. I first heard some of these pieces a year ago as Lucie (Lazy Hammock) begun to complete and publish the first of the albums collection. The project named as Lazy Hammock came to Lucy as part of a meditation one day. “Whilst chanting one day I decided to dedicate myself to music 100% whatever happened, then the Lazy H inspiration came to me”, Lucie says.

The album presents a chillout style almost all the way through but also delivers some surprises and alternatives to that genre’s cool rhythms.

The album starts with Star where Lazy’s soulful lyrics tell stories of the mix of good and bad times, following dreams. The deep bass warms and follows the melody where Lazy’s own deep and smooth vocals lead.

The sunny days of summer continue to be presented with Freefall, an upbeat tight rhythm with plucked guitar giving visions of med sunsets, great for listening to in the winter!

Lost in Dreams sums up the album for me. Dreams to keep us going through hard times, and through darks times of the year. A relaxing yet engaging rhythm with twinkling key work and soft vocals shimmering across a calm sea at night.

We skip a little to Sunset Dreamer coming across with a well produced mix of warm bass and energetic rhythm with warm soothing vocals of different tones.

Red Skies Blue Skies: Possibly the best vocals of the album, syncing backing with lead, with character coming through almost as if sometimes sung with a smile. Interesting and character-full small melodies fitted in to neat spaces.

The subtle swing shifts the album a little from lounge style towards something more unique and possibly developing within Lucie’s compositional skills

Gratitude: Its great to hear an English artist singing with an English accent rather than a false American one. Americans do their own accent best, the brits should sing with honesty, like Lucie does. Again, a development in the context of this album for Lazy Hammock by using a reggie rhythm with an upfront rap about her life complimented by her own backing vocals, illustrating the variations in Lazy’s vocal abilities. Gorgeous strings lift the track towards the end mixing styles as the bass appears occasionally and guitar play off beat.
