Death Grips

Circe · 03-08-2014, 05:26 PM

Finally got round to listening to Government Plates and despite all the hate it gets I still enjoyed it a lot. Does anyone know of any artists similar to these guys? I know B L A C K I E but that's it.

A lot older, but I think this is the kind of stuff that influenced Death Grips

As well as Dalek, El-P, Aesop, etc.

I am excited by all the yelling, lol
And yeah, I don't think I have anything like that in my library...

I'm trying to get my head around this.
So, Death Grips have released even more material. They've dropped the first part of a double album.

The double album is called 'Powers that b'
It's broken into two parts, the first, 'Niggas on the moon' can be downloaded here thirdworlds.net/files/niggas-on-the-moon.zip (just copy and paste into your browser)

The second part is called 'Jenny Death' and will be out later this year.

Supposedly Bjork features on all 8 of the album tracks for 'niggas on the moon'

I've downloaded this myself but I'm a bit burnt out on Death Grips, since The Money Store, their last two efforts haven't hit the same mark and I was starting to lose interest.

I think the new release is pretty good. Ride put more effort into it than in govt plates an I think they work pretty well with Bjork. The opening track is the highlight of the album IMO.

Been looking forward to this all day!

This is the collaboration I didn't know I needed. Amazing,

I'm listening to that now and I'm so over and done with Death Grips to the point that I'm trying to figure out what I even liked about them in the first place.

I never really dug these cats, they had some good moments but they're albums dragged for me, but I actually really respect their stunts. Anyone hear about how some of their shows were supposed to consist only of a projected suicide note and an empty drum kit with their set list playing on the speakers? Pretty rad

Zack was in Hella too, and Garrett the lead vocalist was a vocalist in the band Trash Talk. It is mainly Zack and Garrett the third member was recently added to the group after a drop in their label and is really just a producer and not involved in their live sets. One of the greatest bands alive today.
