Yellowcard are joining forces with post-rock act Hammock to give their beloved songs a new sound.

Announced today, A Hopeful Sign will reimagine nine classic Yellowcard tunes in an ambient/neo-classical offering. The record is slated for a February 9 via Equal Vision Records. A new version of “Ocean Avenue” comes with a music video directed by Stefano Bertelli, which can be seen below.

Yellowcard vocalist/guitarist Ryan Key said this about the collaboration:

“Yellowcard is in a new place where we are collaborating with other artists more than ever before. I have found Hammock in my top three most played artists every year for nearly a decade now. Hammock are one of the defining and most pioneering artists in the post rock and ambient space. We have taken so much inspiration from their work over the years so first becoming friends, and then unexpectedly getting to work together on new music were dreams come true.
I still can’t quite believe it’s real, that we were able to create an entire album with a band that has had such a massive influence on us. Whether it is one of our well-known songs or a deeper cut, these versions bring with them completely new interpretations and meanings for listeners who have lived with them for so many years. During the six years that Yellowcard was apart, I was constantly searching for ways to continue my career as a musician and producer. I had the idea to basically do Yellowcard covers featuring friends and artists I’ve had the pleasure of knowing throughout my career. The first artist to reply and complete a collaboration was Hammock with their reworked version of ‘Empty Street’.”

Yellowcard will embark on a summer tour with Third Eye Blind and Arizona. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
