Description:
"Calypso Gene" serves as a deconstruction of imperfect memories and the paradoxical loaded metaphor of water as both a source of spiritual cleansing and a demarcation of militarized borders. Featuring vocals from Silka and Cleo Reed, its collage of rippling jazz piano and phantom spirituals amplifies the tension between bleak realism and the unknowable mystic.
From the album Mercy by @armandhammernyc & @alanthechemist coming out 11/7/25 on @backwoodzstudioz and distributed worldwide by @rhymesayers & @secretlydistribution
