Thanks Steven! In case you missed it, check out my recent post for more on La Foresta and his drummophone, we had a long convo earlier this year, I posted that with the review and a special mix just a few days ago.
Hearing that Vordul is back to rapping is the best news of the day. He's so influential – if you listen to woods, you basically listen to Vordul. Cold Vein is one of my all-time fav albums. Yung Havoks and Megagraphitti have a few real gems too. It seems he went through a lot in his life, and I didn't expect him to return to the stage. So hearing this really made my day.
I'd heard rumours of an upcoming Vordul album, but I wasn't sure how much stock to put it in. But when Prem sent out an email over the weekend that had Vordul listed at the headliner for a free show in a bar in Brooklyn, I began to suspect they may be true. In an interview (I forget with whom, some podcast, but in the round of press for Golliwog probably) woods mentioned he'd been in touch with Vordul and that he was doing well. I still wasn't convinced he'd show, but he rocked it, he was in good spirits, the crowd was nothing but love, was really beautiful to see. And now of course we just got news that there's a new Armand Hammer & Alc record on the way soon, too!
Much to savor here, Joseph! The Drummophone is fascinating, and I love me some Gwenifer Raymond fingerpicking, just for starters...

That is so beautiful! And yeah, that Mercy album was the other great news of the day.
