Armand Hammer Drop New Album We Buy Diabetic Test Strips: Stream
Armand Hammer have released their new album, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, today (September 29th) via Fat Possum Records. The New York hip-hop duo comprised of rappers billy woods and ELUCID will support the record with an upcoming fall and winter tour (grab tickets here).
We Buy Diabetic Test Strips is the duo’s first album since their Alchemist collaboration Haram, one of the best albums of 2021. The 15-track LP features appearances from Moor Mother, Soul Glo’s Pierce Jordan, Pink Siifu, Junglepussy, and more. Ahead of its release, Armand Hammer shared the singles “Trauma Mic,” “Woke Up and Asked Siri How I’m Gonna Die,” and “The Gods Must Be Crazy.”
In a statement, ELUCID described the recording process as “this sort of reverse engineering of talented players who met for the first time in the studio jamming to pre-recorded beats before splintering off into new directions. Being in the room quietly watching 4 people fumble around each other’s sonic worlds before finally locking into a solid groove was a clear and obvious magical moment for me.”
Armand Hammer are headed out on a tour of North America, the UK, and Europe. It kicks off on October 1st in Kingston, New York ahead of dates in cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, and Austin. Then, they’ll head across the pond for shows in London, Berlin, Paris, and more before returning to North America for stops in New York City; Washington, DC; Toronto; Chicago; Atlanta; and more. See the full itinerary below.
