Premiere: Wilma Archer And Odd Future’s Pyramid Vritra Team Up For “The Hill”

Newcastle-raised songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Wilma Archer has been creating music in one form or another for quite a few years now, but he’s now about to release his biggest project yet: The Burd album with Odd Future’s Pyramid Vritra under the name Wilma Vritra.

The album was announced last month with lead single “Targets & Digits” and a suitably surreal music video to go with it. With the album dropping April 5 via Bad Taste Records, we’re now getting the project’s second single, “The Hill”. Where the first track was a hazy trip, “The Hill” feels a little lighter, but no less soulful. The use of live instruments behind Vritra’s relaxed and level-headed rhymes gives the track just enough flashes of colour to keep both the your mood lifted until the track’s end.

Speaking with Complex via email, “I feel like the album is a window. Or a screen. You stay inside and watch the world happen. The truth is that sometimes the world isn’t pretty, and it isn’t happy, sometimes it is, but most times it isn’t. Each track is a different take on that reality on display to me.”
