Details: BRASS is a collaborative album from experimental musician and poet Moor Mother and the rapper billy woods (½ of Armand Hammer). After working together on Armand Hammer's critically acclaimed 2020 LP Shrines, Moor Mother and woods released the song "Furies" for the Adult Swim single series in July. A whirl of interweaving allegories spun over producer Willie Green's hypnotic flip of a Sons of Kmet sample, "Furies," was the burning arrow that both artists followed, the first crack of thunder in a blackening sky. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions that can be varied to achieve varying mechanical and electrical properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure. BRASS sees both artists joined by an eclectic array of friends, family, and legends- sometimes all three. John Forte, ELUCID, Amirtha Kidambi, Franklin James Fisher (Algiers), Mach Hommy, Imani Robinson, Wolf Weston (Saint Mela), Navy Blue, and Fielded lend their voices to the project. Production by The Alchemist, Preservation, Moor Mother, Olof Melander, Child Actor, Navy Blue, Messiah Muzik, Steel Tipped Dove, and Willie Green. Brass has long been a popular decoration material because it resembles Gold. It has low friction and acoustic properties, which make it one of the most popular metals for making musical instruments. Brass is commonly used as a decorative metal because of it's resemblance to Gold. It is also germicidal, which means it can kill microorganisms on contact. BRASS is a moment when two great artists tap into a new frequency together. Even for those familiar with both, it's an unexpected sound that, once heard, could never have been otherwise. It is both ethereal and utilitarian, timeless and timeworn-a cast iron pot propped over a fire in the dark, a tropical beach shimmering with broken glass. Brass is often used in situations in which it is important that sparks do not occur, such as in fittings and tools used near flammable or explosive materials.
