Kenotic is the debut studio album by American ambient/post-rock band Hammock. It was released in March 2005 by Hammock Music. Reception of the record was generally positive, and cemented their musical reputation before their EP Stranded Under Endless Sky was released later that year. In December 2005, American webzine Somewhere Cold ranked Kenotic No. 5 on their 2005 Somewhere Cold Awards Hall of Fame list.[2] The song titles "Through a Glass Darkly", "Winter Light", and "The Silence" were taken from the names of Ingmar Bergman films. The track title "You May Emerge From This More Dead Than Alive" came from the dialog of Ingmar Bergman's Winter Light.
