Matt pointed me at it and I downloaded it:

and me and the gal like it a lot! Might be a passing fancy but curious what ilxhivemind thinks

lyrics are stone cold stupid but the energy is manic, the production is lo-fi punk shit and the ideas are omnivorously informed and twitching

dash of aphex, little horrorcore, some industrial, some disco... aesthetically it's all over the place and scratches an itch i was not aware i wanted scratched?

spent the past hour listening to this in repertory with shangaan electro and they have a lot in common

very jux-y obvs

Just me?

I downloaded it and haven't listened yet. Give it a minute dude!

me too! :)

honestly, i will never get tired of samples of charles manson interviews

Lol i m impatient.
This was great to balance out miles on the ride into work today.
I'm hearing some machines of loving grace here, of all things!

My friend and I watched this from forks' inexplicable thread last night and she tried to download the mixtape but it made her browser crash when she used the internet at the same time. She said, "everyone's talking about this on facebook," and I said, " 'everybody'? How can it be everybody? This video only has 21,000 views and it's his most-viewed video," and she said, "okay, not EVERYBODY. Like two or maybe three people posted the video, "and I said, "still, that's pretty impressive when you consider the ratio of 21,000 to the population of the unites states. This is probably gonna get big. Like, indie big, maybe," and she said, "Yeah, maybe."

Kinda wish i could post an edited version of that post as a board description

love this shit. thanks forks.
yeah, mostly about the energy, like he just can't shout loud enough or bang hard enough.
some tasty musical action too. guilotine is a jam. not one sound more than it needs. works those bleeps just perfect.
also digging culture shock, like the flipside to lilb's age of information.

dig the whole staticky, fucked up low res visuals too

love the link wray sample on spread eagle cross the block

hell yeah, forks. downloaded this when i noticed it in gun sounds thread last night. think this is like the third thread it's come up in in like 24 hours, small pond virality.

love the link wray sample on spread eagle cross the block

lol @ klinik's castaways sample

also "rise above"

and "i want it i need it" str8 ripping the "interstellar overdrive" riff

Black flag show up on here too... Some creative sampling!
Love the part at the end of guillotine where the electronic burbling swells up and lifts the song to the next level.

Really enjoying this thanks.

love the death grips production, a lot of the same post-dub, post-hardcore touches as on zach hill records

haha and I was wondering why I liked it!

i like this so far

yeah i'm in pro death grips camp

streaming at the FMA

this

although it's a lot more punk rock + a bunch of other things, i definitely get a shabazz palaces vibe at times (mostly in the lyrics + flow, like on "culture shock" for ex).

anyone know if the drums on 'thru the walls' are sampled from something?

haha

really loving this!

sorry to laugh, just that ZH is kind of non-human and sampleable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3bIKc8479E

oh nice, didn't know he was involved. jesus.

damn son

also, is it just me or does dude sound like an aggro slick rick at times?

I think he sounds like rza, especially on Spread Eagle Across the Block.

yeah that too. some of the vowels definitely have this british thing though.

Ok I'm 10 seconds into this and lmfao that this starts with a Janes Addiction sample

http://www.deathgrips.net/

the only person on my FB friends list that has posted this has been Zach Hill.

ok, i'm three songs into this. this is def up whiney alley.

this is otm

has anyone brought up atari teenage riot yet? cuz i'm getting a whiff of that

morelike RIYL: Techno Animal, Kill The Vultures, k-the-i???, etc.

but yeah

the gif in the op is perfect visual accompaniment to this music

ha totally

atari teenage riot ... Techno Animal, Kill The Vultures, k-the-i

finding death grope a lot more enjoyable & fun than any of those precedents. like it sounds like it ought to feel oppressively angry and "harsh", but it doesn't. good times album imo.

and yeah, OP gif couldn't be more perfect

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

like it sounds like it ought to feel oppressively angry and "harsh", but it doesn't. good times album imo.

yeah this is the crazy part to me. i thought it would get grating, but like i'm sitting here vibing with the windows open on a summer evening

no but seriously: I think the 2xLP-with-half-leaked-in-advance could be a surprisingly good marketing strategy for bands in Death Grips' position (rabid fanbase, restless musicians) to basically cash in their chips -- "here's a free half-hour of the experimental shit that might alienate you; btw you're still paying for it whether you like it or not when the proper album drops"

in closing, there is no way in hell I would pay for tix to a Death Grips (RIP) show unless I could literally see the band standing in front of me as I handed over my credit card

def liking the second part a lot more than n---as on the moon

omg it's so good, esp when the guitar parts start happening

that weird feeling when you find yourself really digging something and it turns out to be called 'why a bitch gotta lie'

eh, arguably better than "have a sad cum"

that awesome feeling when you find yourself really digging something and it turns out to be called 'why a bitch gotta lie'

'on GP' is majestic btw

it's called "have a sad cum bb" just saying

i wouldn't pay for death grips tix either but i also don't believe for a second that dude's fucked-up self-destructive "artist" shit is a fully intentional decision on his part.

i would totally pay for tickets; the venue is on the hook to return cash if they cancel and why not pay to see them?

I've actually seen them and they were pretty great.

i may have mentioned it up thread but i had tickets and showed up about eighty minutes after show start (they had an opener) and the show FINISHED as I walked up to the venue which is kinda unheard of... wasn't even a short set, the opener did like fifteen minutes and then DG hopped on immediately and did an hour. regrets, i have a few

like who would've guessed they'd go on early?

― One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF)

Yep.

like who would've guessed they'd go on early?

truly next-level trolling.

it did occur to me!

My CD copy of the powers that b just arrived and i can't figure out how to get them out without breaking anything

^^^ not a troll, CD packaging just sucks these days

niggaz on the moon sometimes fine, but worked that Bjork sample to death and then sum. Really enjoy the Fashion Week tracks though. Good to work to!

but this way suckers (like me) are guilted into paying 12 buxx for ten new songs

If anyone's curious the set-up in Seattle was doors at 7, no opener, they went on at 9 and everyone was out the door by 10:30. Had a great time.

and now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQm8qpexnjo

Was kinda eehhhh about Niggas on the Moon and subsequently overlooked Jenny Death. Big mistake. Thing fucking slays front to back. Maybe their best album.

yeah, ppl are really sleeping on it, was in my top 10

there's a new one o_O

just listened to it in fact -- and it's yet another good, relentless Death Grips record. Most consistent band on the planet, really.

will be on this very shortly, q excited. rym is going mad for it

no one fucking cares, Louis

I shouldn't have snapped at u

u_u

sorry, lj

lol

Whiney acting the Hot Head in honour of the incendiary second track

new track is pretty fun, stripping back the noise a bit

and they say music can't change the world

lol nice. year of the snitch was probably my most listened-to album of the year. it didn't bowl me over at first, but its endless parade of off-the-wall ideas--coupled with its uniformly hazy, blunted sonics--kept pulling me back in. i don't think i've seen it on a single year-end list :(

would love to see them go deeper into the psych-prog zone of dilemma

Lol I had completely forgotten that death grips are the greatest band in the world

Fuiud

:D

exmilitary is still the pinnacle but ilx def underrates them

I was way too late getting into these guys, no love deep web prob my fave

money store is the one i listen to most often but ya easy best band of the last decade

I should have absorbed more DG by now. Really, really, really liked The Powers That B or whatever the two-disc thing was officially called. The juxtaposition of the two not-very-similar discs somehow added something in itself. I even bought a physical copy fercrissakes, which is noteworthy for me nowadays.

But I have no recollection of hearing the stuff since then, nor NLDW for that matter. I've no real excuse...

Definitely a band that felt uniquely important and new. An actual next stage of punk. Seeing the crowd that showed up to their shows kinda ruined some of it for me though. Looked like a 4chan meetup.

ha, i heard someone describe them as incel music and i was like ewwwwww but i still kinda like them

Yeah I don’t put that on them, just kinda made me re-evaluate. Gotta really suck to have an unexpected fan base like that though.

lol saw them in london c. money store and the crowd wasn't particularly gross at all? money store is the best imo.
