Hemlock Ernst, the rap project of Future Islands frontman Samuel T. Herring, has shared a new single from his upcoming album Studying Absence. ‘Remains’, which features Armand Hammer’s ELUCID, follows lead cut ‘Raised in the South’. Check it out below.
Recorded with producer Icky Reels, Studying Absence is set for release on October 16 via Tygr Rawwk Rcrds. “With Hemlock Ernst, I tend to work over soul and jazz break type beats,” Herring said in a press release. “Icky Reels’ production was a far more industrial and acidic landscape. I knew this would be more of a cerebral process, breaking down the beats, challenging the rhythms, finding the voices. But I decided to accept the challenge.”
