Anyone listen to Death Grips?

[trademarktaz]

Learned about these guys watching the Coachella live stream this past weekend. They're from Sacramento I think, shit's pretty crazy.

Yup they are from Sac. The Money Store recently leaked (comes out the 24th) and shit is dope, it makes me want to punch a wall.

The drummer Zach Hill has been in a ton of great bands the most known probably being Hella.

The new album is available to stream on soundcloud. im feelin it. im sure i'll feel it even more when i get drunk

 

[B-Buzz]

been trying for weeks and can't get into them

The Money Store might be one of my favorite albums to drop this year at this point. Shit is hectic as fuck. A couple days ago I was listening to it with a pretty good hangover and got about four songs in and had to turn it off because I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack lol.

Listening to it right now all like though.

The only links that were out until a few days ago were not too great of quality m4a ones. Is that link different?

-edit-

Probably should have clicked the link first, thanks breh.

 

[BASEDVATO]

This link is MP3, im looking in properties can't tell the bit rate. Seems pretty clean quality through the head phone though

 

[BASEDVATO]

My mind is about to explode lol I have this shit banging in the head phones... good fucking look brehs

 

[BASEDVATO]

[Elemenno]

I showed one of my brehs this yesterday and he informed me death grip is a sactown slang for sherm, everything made so much sense lol. New album is dope.

 

[415niner]

They were dope at coachella, i dig their music.

 

[Nuttkase]

Zach Hill has to be an alien right? Both him and Brian Chippendale.

Zack Hill is from the band HELLA, this all makes so much sense now...

I actually liked the band Hella, and saw them live a few times. I've been bumping Money Store and Exmilitary often... this is one of those rare projects that actually push boundaries.

 

[Nuttkase]

C @ChopShop you might want this...

It's each song on Exmilitary but in instrumental form, and then also broken down into the parts of the song as well. Like the drums by themself, the vox, effects.. etc. You can probably find some dope stuff in there for your sampling.

I've also liked their approach to marketing their music even though they are on a major label now. They have given away 5 songs for free download and put the whole album on both youtube and soundcloud streaming over a week before the album drops (which is tomorrow btw)

There is more info about how they do some of their promo here. but out of all of it I found this the most interesting way.

Death Grips x BitTorrent

Though the major labels and lots of other people equate filesharing with theft, Death Grips is publicizing The Money Store with a BitTorrent bundle of music and videos. I love the fact that this bundle is being publicized, in part, by a press release distributed via BusinessWire:

"BitTorrent will promote the bundle on the company’s two main Web properties (www.bittorrent.com and www.utorrent.com), via advertising to new users, and by offering the bundle directly in the two software clients. The promotion is designed to offer Death Grips fans a special preview for the new album using the fastest download technology available, engage new global fans, and help facilitate pre-sales of the album 'The Money Store' on sale April 24th via Epic Records. "

BitTorrent also held a live chat with Death Grips on Twitter which they then transcribed and excerpted.

This week Death Grips dropped all the audio tracks from The Money Store on their YouTube channel. Whatever the deal with Epic, so far Death Grips seems to be maintaining their uncompromising stance towards art and business. It will be interesting to see what happens now that they're getting a lot more attention and, hopefully, real label support.

^I'm downloading everyone of those... I will be forced to make a remix project with all these, theres no way around it lol

 

[Nuttkase]

They are all in one zip at the very bottom of the list.

 

[BASEDVATO]
