 Hood
From their early forays into noisy pop, Disco Inferno-influenced post-rock, and moody, Bedhead-style slowcore to later experiments in swirling ambient electronic music, Hood has always maintained a delicate balance between melody and experimentation, layering organic and inorganic elements with creativity and finesse.
In 1996, Slumberland released Hood's second album, Silent '88, featuring both "The Field is Cut" and "Her Innocent Stock of Words."

After Silent '88, Hood delved deeper into ambient and electronic music with their next albums, 1997's Structured Disasters (Happy Go Lucky), 1998's Rustic Houses, Forlorn Valleys (Domino), 1999's The Cycle of Days and Seasons (Domino), and a remix 12-inch on Drop Beat, also in 1999.
