Snakes & Ladders, the new album from indie rap duo Armand Hammer, was written and recorded in the winter of 2025-’26. Perhaps reflective of our times, it’s a project full of extremes and contradictions: intimacy, compassion, love, and conviction mingle with fear, anger, hopelessness, and violence. With Snakes & Ladders, ELUCID and billy woods delve into the knotty conundrums of our lives, in this country, in this world, and in this moment.
