Hammock’s original score for Kogonada’s award-winning film starring John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson, and Parker Posey. “Columbus” features world-renowned architecture from Columbus, Indiana, alongside a deeply intellectual storyline about family and parental relationships. Kogonada sought out Hammock to create the soundtrack after reading an interview with the band. “They were talking about the relationship between absence and presence in their music – which was a mind-blowing moment – and I thought, ‘They have to be the music for this film.’” The movie has been praised by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Washington Post, The New Yorker, and Variety, and it has a Metacritic score of 89 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating “universal acclaim”, and a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
