KENNY SEGAL & ARMAND HAMMER"DOVES" MAXI-SINGLE FT. BENJAMIN BOOKER & ZEROH 12" VINYL NOW SHIPPING In February of this year, Armand Hammer surprised everyone by dropping a surprise single “Doves” along with an accompanying short film. The song was a 9+ minute epic, produced by Kenny Segal and Benjamin Booker, while also prominently featuring the latter on vocals. Lauded as some of the duo’s best work, “Doves” was also added to the digital version of Armand Hammer’s We Buy Diabetic Test Stripsalbum as the closing track. However, the song was not made available in any physical media, and that was...

Here we are halfway through 2024 already, and it feels like we are just hitting our stride on this year’s releases. Our newest drop is also, in many ways, our boldest so far; ØKSE is a new experimental Jazz quartet that profiles like a multinational supergroup. Backwoodz is very proud to be putting out their self-titled debut album, which features billy woods, ELUCID, Cavalier, and Maassai. Partially recorded with Willie Green @ The GreenHouse in Brooklyn, and partially in Oslo, Norway, ØKSE is an international project in every sense of the word, but it was all built in-studio together, vocalists...

What’s good, people! We are on that Different Type Time right now, heavy, as the release date draws close for the new Cavalier album. April 19 is a week away, but we have another Cavalier amuse-bouche for you right now. “Come Proper” is one of our favorite tracks off the upcoming album; laconic and mesmerizing, sonically bridging a gap between the Caribbean and Crown Heights. As chance would have it, our other news item of the day also concerns an artist based in New Orleans. In honor of the Aethiopes two-year anniversary, Preservation is repressing the album instrumentals, as well as...

Fall in NYC vibes are the best vibes. On the cusp of the new Fielded album dropping I ran through the album twice while running around Brooklyn on a beautifully breezy September day, and it was the perfect accompaniment. Even the eerily ritualistic “Honeysuckle” matched up perfectly with whatever the subway preacher was ranting about. This is our first Fielded full-length since 2020’s Demisexual Lovelace- which ironically is about to go out of print- and it appears to have arrived at the perfect moment. In a year of thrillingly eclectic Backwoodz projects, Plus One gives every one of them a...
