Armand Hammer (aka billy woods and ELUCID) have shared the second single off their upcoming album for Fat Possum, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. “Woke Up and Asked Siri How I’m Gonna Die” was produced by JPEGMAFIA, whose abstract, unpredictable style works perfectly with woods and ELUCID on this track. woods says:
I think that every project I worked on, you are kinda waiting to make your first track that is more than the sum of its parts. Because some tracks have a dope verse and a really good beat and a great hook, and the song is really dope and that’s cool. That’s a win, for sure, but there are other songs out there. The ones where all the parts swirl in a unique orbit, building upon each other and all of a sudden the whole thing is floating. Alchemy. Base metals turn to gold, etc. That’s really the moment I’m always waiting for when I start on a new creative journey. That unmistakable signpost. On We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, there were more than a few such moments, but this was the very first one. One take and it was like, yeah that’s it.
Listen below.
The duo’s upcoming tour begins in Kingston, NY in October 1 and includes a hometown NYC show on November 16 at Bowery Ballroom.
