Either way, I hope you enjoy.Death Grips performing in New York City, November 2012 They're also pretty easy to find if you wanted to go looking for them yourself. There are a ton of instrumental excerpts, remixes, unmastered versions and such of their music online, so if anyone would be interested in anything like that, let me know. I also included all their other officially released material, which is basically their EP, Fashion Week, and some singles. Niggas On The Moon is very unstructured and noisy, which is incredibly interesting, especially in contrast to Jenny Death. As for The Powers That B, the more accessible side is definitely Jenny Death, and fans of their early work will certainly be into it. If you're looking for a nice hybrid of both, No Love Deep Web is the way to go. If you want more instrumental experimentation, and some really unique sounds, go to Government Plates. If you like the aggressive, vocal/lyrical side with strong hooks, go to Exmilitary after. If you're looking to listen to them, definitely start with The Money Store. To anyone new to them though, you are in for something different, that's for sure. I'm sure they've piqued a lot of interest in fans of the more aggressive side of this blog, thus the requests. Needless to say, Death Grips have been busy for the past few years, and that's not even getting into the smaller details.ĭeath Grips have certainly been one of the most notable acts to emerge in modern music, which of course leads to some interesting opinions on them. At long last, it is released, and Death Grips are suddenly back together and planning a tour (stay tuned for the cancellation).

Months later, they randomly drop a free album of instrumentals titled Fashion Week, with tracks that spell out "JENNY DEATH WHEN", since the name of the second half of The Powers That B is Jenny Death. The first half of it, titled Niggas On The Moon, was released, and featured a collaborative sample of Björk on every track. They announced the release of a double-album ( The Powers That B), and then announced their break-up. They put out another album (with Robert Pattinson playing guitar for one track), planned a tour with Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden, and then cancelled it. If it can be summarized briefly, they leaked their next album, made the cover a close-up penis, got dropped from said label, and then they were no-shows at a lot of their own shows.

There's been a series of leaked albums, cryptic messages, break-ups, cancelled tours, mysterious re-emergences, label disputes, it goes on and on. All the while they show that they can still create some killer hooks too.įollowing The Money Store, a whole lot of shit went down, to say the least. Lyrically, they continue to explore the darkest parts of the human psyche within their digital dystopia, which are best heard through the drill-sergeant assault of MC Ride. They're just as experimental and aggressive as on their past efforts, and are still not shy about creating shrill noises, laser-beam electronics, and off-kilter beats. They signed to Epic Records and released The Money Store, which garnered mass amounts of attention, and for good reason. Along comes 2012, and that's when everything in the Death Grips universe went crazy, and has stayed that way ever since. Regardless, Exmilitary was released to critical acclaim, and attracted fans across the musical spectrum. The dark, aggressive, and industrial sound of Death Grips had been virtually unheard of (maybe with the exceptions of Dälek or B L A C K I E). This is where all eyes were suddenly on them. They quickly released a 6-song EP, which was followed by a 13-song mixtape.
In addition to Hill, Andy Morin (who became known as "Flatlander") handled production/keyboards, and rapper Stefan Burnett ("MC Ride") rounded off the trio. They were created by drummer Zach Hill, who was known for his other group Hella, his solo work, and his work with others, such as Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Wavves, and a ton of others. Death Grips are a three-piece experimental hip-hop group hailing from Sacramento, California, and formed in late 2010.
