Karriem Riggins - "Alone / Together (Red / Blue Vinyl 2LP) PRE-ORDER

Karriem Riggins was best known as a collaborator – with everyone from J Dilla and Common to Paul McCartney – before he released his debut on Stones Throw in 2012. The artist, drummer and producer’s debut album was released on a single CD and two separate records – Alone and Together – which are collected here as a 2LP for the first time, housed in a gatefold jacket and including the bonus track “12’s in 8”.

Alone/Together is in the tradition of great beatmaker albums like J Dilla’s Donuts, described by Pitchfork as “a grand addition to the ever-expanding canon of instrumental beat tapes”. As Karriem Riggins continues to collaborate – most recently forming the acclaimed group GENA with Liv.e – this reissue of Alone / Together takes it back to the fundamentals: a drum beat and a loop.
