About This Item

- Genre: Dance and electronic
- Description: Looking back more than four years later at Haram, it is easier to see the forest forthe trees. At the time, much of the attention fell on how this outsider duo would fareunder the bright lights- which was fair, Armand Hammer had never done a singleproducer record before- and here they were working with a living legend. Now,with a little distance, it's easier to see how Alchemist stepped out of his comfortzone to meet them where they were, and how all three artists then absconded forparts unknown. The flashbulb energy of InchBring The Stars OutInch, asymmetric droneof InchChicharronesInch, fugue-bounce of InchGod's FeetInch, and good luck finding analoguesfor InchPeppertreeInch or InchStonefruitInch. Haram doesn't sound like anything else in theALC discography, nor in Armand Hammer's, for that matter. Haram was a one-shot kill that somehow contained some of the most accessible work ELUCID andbilly woods had ever done, as well as some of their most experimental, and it allsounded cohesive.Needless to say, they didn't do this alone; KAYANA's golden voice upps thewattage on InchBlack Sunlight,Inch while Fielded's sultry alto gets chopped and screwedon InchAubergineInch. Earl Sweatshirt's cameo on the sun-soaked InchFalling Out the SkyInchis already a classic. Curly Castro, Amani, and Quelle Chris all turn up the heat whencalled upon.But since we are talking about retrospect here, the thing about Haram isn't that itstill sounds as good as it did when it came out. The amazing thing is that it actuallysounds even better than it did then. You don't have to take our word for it either, runit up one time, with the lights low and something on ice, see if it doesn't take yousomewhere new, again. Album Tracks 1. Sir Benni Miles 2. Roaches Don't Fly 3. Black Sunlight 4. Indian Summer 5. Aubergine 6. God's Feet 7. Peppertree 8. Scaffolds 9. Falling Out the Sky

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
