Left-field NYC rap duo Armand Hammer is finally touring behind last year’s stunning new album
We Buy Diabetic Test Trips
, and Orlando gets a listening session next week.
We Buy
is a more loose-limbed undertaking for Elucid and Billy Woods, even by the duo’s own adventurous standards. The album grew out of a jam session and the free (jazz) and easy flow of the music spurs on the two MCs to ever-greater heights of nonlinear, space-is-the-place wonder.
The finished album featured contributions from everyone from JPEGMAFIA and EL-P to Moor Mother and Junglepussy, along with plenty of live instrumentation. But that’s not the only new material Armand Hammer are touring behind.
They’ll be previewing new material from
BLK LBL
, a surprise vinyl-only release with contributions from Dreamcrusher and Aesop Rock, and selling copies of the LP.
Thursday’s show at The Social is the penultimate show of their tour, the only Florida engagement and a rare chance to snatch up a copy of BLK LBL, so drag your carcass out on a weeknight because this will be a dizzying affair.
