Ok, here are some thoughts on Death Grips, cause I forgot earlier whoops
I’ve been feeling some latent frustration with how I see a lot of people online engage with their music. I don’t mean to be some kind of elitist about this, but a lot of the (deserved) praise that I see them getting feels kind of…detached? It’s almost always coming from the kind of “woah, this music is crazy…but it works somehow?” mindset. I know I’m absolutely making a strawman argument here, but I’ve seen it enough times to where I feel like it’s not just a person I’m making up in my head to be mad at.
I feel like some people don’t get that DG isn’t good in spite of the “insanity”, they’re good because of the “insanity”. And I’ll admit, a lot of their music can be quite alienating! They use lots of abrasive textures, MC Ride’s performances can get very intense, it’s all a lot. But I feel like there are tons of moments of sheer beauty within DG’s discography. The riff from Centuries of Damn comes to mind, it’s so tired and desperate sounding, it’s incredible.
Hearing the incredible art that DG puts out is great, but to see a lot of people in it for the pure spectacle is a little disheartening. And I’m not trying to claim to be the only one who really gets Death Grips, at least I hope I’m not. I just really only see people talk about how crazy they are instead of how flat-out good they are.
Like, each member of DG itself is so talented!
Ride’s ability to channel that much visceral feeling into his performances is impressive on its own, it’s a miracle his throat hasn’t completely given out yet. But it feels so shitty to pigeonhole his style into “Funny homeless man screaming”. First of all, that’s just fucking rude. Second, that’s so reductive! Screaming isn’t all he does, he’s a really damn versatile performer! I never feel like he’s phoning it in or reusing a vibe, he does exactly what needs to be done, every single track. Lots of the most memorable moments of DG’s music are when Ride drops the yelling, and just talks. It’s chilling every time. Plus, his ability to keep a consistent flow over the off-kilter production is a feat all on its own.
Speaking of which, I think Andy Morin might be one of my favorite music producers right now. Right up there with Arca, Patricia Taxxon, Nigel Godrich, that real legendary shit. Like Ride, it never feels like I’m hearing the same thing twice. Each DG track sounds and feels so distinct, even while keeping within the general industrial, electronic, and punk sound palettes. Even my least favorite DG project in terms of production, NLDW, never ever felt lazy or unfinished. I think it’s an excellent project, I just don’t personally enjoy it as much as other DG albums, for very superficial reasons. On projects I prefer more, I still strongly feel that he’s very skilled at creating unique sounds, while still maintaining a sense of familiarity within the outlandish production.
Regarding Zach Hill, I think his drumming speaks for itself. Like, watch any video of a live Death Grips performance. That man goes absolutely ham on the drums, every single time. It’s a wonder he hasn’t snapped his wrists more often. Admittedly, he is the DG member I have the least to say about. I tend to get lost in the electronic elements of most DG tracks, I don’t pay as much attention to the drumming. I also have yet to check out Hella, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. Moving forward, I’m definitely going to try to keep my ears open to what he’s doing while the other elements of the tracks pass me by. I’m certain I’ll find something incredible.
Put together, they’re easily one of the most unique and consistently astonishing bands ever. I say that with my full chest. I don’t know, I just really like them! Sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to get all of this out there. Bottom line, Death Grips Good.

Photos of Tom Skinner's drum kit. The treatment is pretty typical of past Nigel-esque setups. No front head on the kick with blankets and pillows muting the batter head, which is mic'ed up with a FET 47. Coles on the overheads, localized towards the cymbals. C12As on the toms. Some LDC (likely a U47) as the mono overhead, 57 on the snare. CMV-563 as the "heart" / wurst / center mic above the kick (seen in a previous photo from the first Smile record).
There is a mic behind the kit that looks like it's for talkback, possibly a SM58,but can't be sure since other engineers, like Bill Schnee, have also used this position for drums.

Some musicians are done. Radiohead, for instance, did nothing after A Moon Shaped Pool except the reissues of their old material, so I personally believe they are finished. Look, each member has his own project and they haven't been together in the same place for a while. While I could be wrong – trust me, I don't like to talk about them ending –, I assume they decided to stop without telling anyone. Moreover, we shouldn't forget the LP does conclude their career on a high note – there's still a way for them to go forward, though I fear this would've taken away from A Moon Shaped Pool. You see, the disc locates them with a certain freedom they always wanted at the end, which can mean so many things for Radiohead.

Album Review: Idles - Tangk
Words: Ben Forrester At the back end of 2021, Idles seemed to come out of nowhere with their most ambitious record to date. ‘Crawler’ was an amalgamation of everything the Bristolian five piece had worked towards on their previous three LP’s, whilst pushing everything from lo-fi electronics, soul grindcore and black metal into the mix. Personally, I put it up there as one of the band’s finest…
