Product Information
Acclaimed Baltimore experimental hip-hop duo Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals return with vital new album A City Drowned in God's Black Tears, an incendiary, irresistible rap record that marries unflinching discourse with bold and unpredictable production. "Together, Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals might seem like the poster boys for alternative or experimental hip-hop, but King Cobra proves that labels can be meaningless," wrote The Quietus. SPIN called the duo's work "a futuristic, dystopian masterpiece" and described Ennals as a "brilliant tragicomic nihilist." Loud and Quiet praised Infinity Knives for his "deep love-and knowledge-of a range of genres" and the way his production "carries the listener effortlessly." Initially intended to be less political, A City Drowned in God's Black Tears became a poignant reflection of the current state of the world. The duo, wary of being pigeonholed as solely political artists, found themselves compelled by global tragedies and systemic violence to create a record that speaks truth to power while staying true to their ethos. Thematically, the album dives headfirst into the grotesque tragedies of today, from the violence of late-stage capitalism to the ongoing slaughter of Palestinians, while reflecting on the duo's own mental health struggles. The result of all this is an album born not out of harmony but out of discord-a reflection of the frustrations, tensions, and sheer determination that defined it's making. Yet, for all the strife, the album carries the mark of it's collaborators' shared grit and the singular vision of an artist-engineer who turned a cosy basement into a crucible for innovation.
