Praise for Inter Personal, by Andy Stack and Jay Hammond
"Stack and Hammond...struck gold with a series of electro-acoustic duo improvisations that they winnowed down and title Inter Personal a nod to the connection that they deepened by making this music together"
-Talkhouse Podcast
"...glitchy synths, skittering drums, and angular guitar swirl and circle each other, twisting themselves into giddy knots. These patterns shift restlessly, evoking the exhausting ecstasy of infatuation, but the instruments are never less than utterly in sync."
-INDY Week
Praise for Acorn, by Trippers & Askers
"Hammond’s melodies are at once well-worn and unusual, and the arrangements burst with color."
- INDY Week
"Jay Hammond's Trippers & Askers collective has created something groundbreaking and completely unexpected...Acorn contains the group’s finest recording and songwriting to date."
- Folk Radio UK
"Led by a Georgetown professor, this US collective impress with a subtle, ambient debut inspired by Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower"
-The Guardian
