More Info
Karriem Riggins’ debut album for Stones Throw brings Alone and Together together as a 2LP for the first time. Originally released in 2012 on a single CD and two separate records, the collection returns to the fundamentals of Riggins’ approach: a drum beat and a loop.
Already known for collaborations with artists including J Dilla, Common and Paul McCartney, the drummer and producer draws on the warmth and inventiveness of instrumental beat tapes throughout the album.
Housed in a gatefold jacket, this coloured-vinyl edition includes the bonus track ‘12’s In 8’, available on LP for the first time.
