Death Grips

heard "rumble" at an amusement park a couple weeks ago, <3 death grips but he kinda ruined that song for me now

In the video for 'Guillotine' we've noticed MC Ride is careful to wear his seatbelt, adding to the impression that the character he projects isn't someone you want to be sitting beside on a long flight. Almost like he's a good citizen, repressed, buttoned up, conscientious about the rules, but on the verge of going off the deep end. Was this intentional, an oversight, or just good in-car safety?

F: Yes, of course it's intentional. We obviously had the option and foresight to not use a seatbelt, but that misses the point. It is not real - the outside is static, the inside is static, and the seatbelt is fucking static. Everything is static, just eating away at the individual. The material world and many things within it are designed to keep us half-dead, and we're trained to think these things are keeping us safe. We reference the weaponry of fear and our music and vision isn't about being hard or tough, it's about being real and raw, and feeling our shit. We counter with energy, everything is energy.

fuck me
i've been a bit busy with summerstage, really pissed i missed this. woulda been real into the nguzunguzu double header.

i think of the lead dude as Mr. Death Grips.

btw Guillotine and Full Moon is on spotify; i am putting it in everyone's inbox

everyone in the world or

is this still holding up for people? i dont really get the urge to listen to it anymmore.

yeah I listening to it just last weekend, classic stuff imo

"guillotine" will forever sound great booming from a car stereo, those bass rolls increasing pressure as the song progresses and the stuttering needle noise at the end never fail to satisfy

i have been listening to this almost every day all summer

but then i've also been listening to big black and '82-'85 swans every day, so it's just been that kinda summer

man I hope you feel better soon

maybe get some exercise or eat more leafy greens

well i mean to be honest e, i listen to "angry" shit when i'm in a good mood, too. and so.

they did a house show last weekend that apparently was totally killer, several of my jaded 30-something friends proclaimed it the best show they've seen all year, which i missed because i was sick.

picturing you kicking back happily w/ a tall glass of lemonade while "half life" blasts in the background

xp

i thought it would get grating, but like i'm sitting here vibing with the windows open on a summer evening

still feelin this.

this beat like you about to throw yourself down the staircase but then you smell the blunt and now you are the staircase #spiral

can't be said enough

yeah , it was really fun. Don't know about best I've seen, but definitely the hottest and sweatiest. Fire code probably took a beating too, an earthquake would have killed everyone in the room.

Absolutely loving this mixtape/record whatever. Easily my favorite thing in a long time.

Alex came to my house and played me this, but at the time I was totally exhausted. I will digest it further, tbh

they released all the ex military instrumentals

Also all the acapellas and sound fx.

Buy it on CASSETTE (also t-shirts):

OK now those are nice t-shirts

I'm pretty into black DEATH CLASSIC (I don't like to wear white t-shirts)

yeah, if i didn't have a zillion tshirts i would

I have a CLASH t-shirt and a CHROME t-shirt and an OBLIVIANS t-shirt. Those are all of my music-related t-shirts

seeing them Friday! so stoked.
