Death Grips: "Whatever I Want (Fuck Who's Watching)" Posted: 14 Nov 2013 02:00 PM PST "Whatever I Want (Fuck Who's Watching)", the final track from the newly leaked Death Grips album Government Plates, is nearly seven minutes long, and never settles, for three consecutive seconds, into comprehensibility. Think about the speed with which your mind seizes on and processes even the tiniest scrap of recorded music—we ID big pop songs from their opening seconds, they are specifically engineered to make sure we can do so. Now think about the harrowing intensity required to throw our relentless pattern-seeking ears off balance for that long. Death Grips are serious about chaos—as a creative strategy, as a way of life, as a healthy tonic to proscribe to whoever they can lure near them—and their best music processes and atomizes this impulse.

Death Grips: "Birds" Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:10 AM PDT Photo by Tom Spray This thing's a mess, isn't it? "Birds"-- the first new Death Grips tune to arrive since they did not-- is a surrealistic madhouse, with synthesizers that suggest the Doppler effect, a hook manipulated until it sounds like a didgeridoo, and an instrumental impasse that puts Pops Staples' guitar in a blender. What's most conspicuous, though, is MC Ride's narcotized delivery of strangely elliptical thoughts. "I've got a black hat/ It might live," he half-murmurs, half-slurs. "It's got a black hat/ It goes big."
