Death Grips - The Powers That B

Death Grips finally completes an immense double album with the release of Jenny Death, assembling two very different--but satisfying--releases in the DG discography.

Death Grips - "Inanimate Sensation"

Death Grips drop a new single to tease toward the second half of their yet-to-be-completed double album, The Powers That B.

Death Grips drops a video single for the first track to be released from their forthcoming album, Jenny Death, which is also the second half of their yet-to-be-completed double album titled The Powers That B. I reviewed the first installment earlier this year.

While it is my job to keep a cool head, it's hard not to be hyped for "Inanimate Sensation." The revving group vocals, presumably live drums, and ear-searing synths all remind me of Death Grips' early work--and sound just as exciting. It's easily one of the most hard-hitting singles of 2014, and I'm hoping much of Jenny Death follows suit.

Death Grips - The Powers That B Pt. 1 a.k.a. Niggas On The Moon

Death Grips are at their most glitchy, experimental, and esoteric on the first half of their new album.

Death Grips - Niggas On the Moon

Out of the blue, Death Grips drops a new, 8-song project titled Niggas On the Moon, which is supposed to be the first installment of a double album that we should be seeing the second half of later this year. The title of this thing: The Powers That B.

Sonically, NOTM doesn't sound too unlike the recently released Government Plates. The sounds are synthetic, abrasive, and assembled in a jittery display of disorienting proportions. Thankfully, the project features a stronger lyrical component than Government Plates as well.

For an added layer of confusion, Björk is somehow involved with this thing as well. Knowing Death Grips, this project is probably laced with an incalculable number of Björk samples. There's a pretty audible one toward the end of "Billy Not Really," I think.

Stream this project via the widget above, and hit up the DG Facebook page for a download link, which I know the band had posted the night of this album's release onto YouTube and Soundcloud. No guarantee it's still there, though. Enjoy!
