{"product_id":"armand-hammer-alchemist-haram-cd","title":"Armand Hammer \u0026 Alchemist - Haram CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eLooking back more than four years later at Haram, it is easier to see the forest for\r\nthe trees. At the time, much of the attention fell on how this outsider duo would fare\r\nunder the bright lights- which was fair, Armand Hammer had never done a single\r\nproducer record before- and here they were working with a living legend. Now,\r\nwith a little distance, it's easier to see how Alchemist stepped out of his comfort\r\nzone to meet them where they were, and how all three artists then absconded for\r\nparts unknown. The flashbulb energy of \"Bring The Stars Out\", asymmetric drone\r\nof \"Chicharrones\", fugue-bounce of \"God's Feet\", and good luck finding analogues\r\nfor \"Peppertree\" or \"Stonefruit\". Haram doesn't sound like anything else in the\r\nALC discography, nor in Armand Hammer's, for that matter. Haram was a one-\r\nshot kill that somehow contained some of the most accessible work ELUCID and\r\nbilly woods had ever done, as well as some of their most experimental, and it all\r\nsounded cohesive.\r\nNeedless to say, they didn't do this alone; KAYANA's golden voice upps the\r\nwattage on \"Black Sunlight,\" while Fielded's sultry alto gets chopped and screwed\r\non \"Aubergine\". Earl Sweatshirt's cameo on the sun-soaked \"Falling Out the Sky\"\r\nis already a classic. Curly Castro, Amani, and Quelle Chris all turn up the heat when\r\ncalled upon.\r\nBut since we are talking about retrospect here, the thing about Haram isn't that it\r\nstill sounds as good as it did when it came out. The amazing thing is that it actually\r\nsounds even better than it did then. You don't have to take our word for it either, run\r\nit up one time, with the lights low and something on ice, see if it doesn't take you\r\nsomewhere new, again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSir Benni Miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoaches Don't Fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndian Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAubergine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod's Feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeppertree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaffolds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalling Out the Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWishing Bad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicharrones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSqueegee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Moses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStonefruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46921620619521,"sku":"850063560344","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/9063\/4497\/files\/4456041-3448684.jpg?v=1763181743","url":"https:\/\/factoryrecords.com\/products\/armand-hammer-alchemist-haram-cd","provider":"Factory Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
