This weekend Death Grips dropped a new track called “Hot Head“, and it’s available for download; though, at the moment the band’s server seems overloaded with requests! Quite appropriate I’d say, as “Hot Head” is an intense sonic juggernaut that mixes a toxic blender full of broken beats, oblique synth shards, and MC Ride‘s unhinged tirade of non-sequiturs. This past October the band promised a new album called Bottomless Pit, though there doesn’t seem to be word on whether “Hot Head” will be one of it’s tracks.
In other Death Grips’ related news, the band passed on a link to MC Ride’s (Stefan Burnett) painting website. Burnett creates haunting, monochromatic acrylics that center squarely on the abject nature of existence with intense imagery that includes paintings of bodies hanging, skeletons rotting, and other ripe horrors. But then we’d expect nothing less from Death Grips’ beguiling frontman.
