Summary

Keith welcomes Marc Byrd back to the show and we discuss Hammock's new LP "The Second Coming Was a Moonrise", insights behind the creative process for the record, collaborating with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips on "Chemicals Make You Small" and the interesting story behind the title of the record. We also discuss Marc's previous upbringing in a strict fundamentalist Christian household, grappling with his history and developing an individual belief system in modern times, sobriety, the Cure's influence on Hammock, the current studio spaces the band is working out of, life occurrences Marc and Andrew have survived (including a tornado and flood), how these have influenced Hammock's music and more.
