r/deathgrips

Ive been listening to this allot and I want to know how a soundscape like this could be created, is this all live and improvised (excluding the drums) or did Zach sit down and make this on Ableton and then just improvised on it with his drums.

Okay, so I've been on a bit of a quest to find and document the odd time signatures used in Death Grips songs. Currently on Year of the Snitch, and I'm pretty confident the chorus of Dilemma is in some kind of odd time signature, but I need some second opinions.

So far, I've confirmed the "thingany thingany, so jinx now" and similar bars are in 5/4 because the rhythm of those bars is a 3-3-2-2 accent pattern, a common type of rhythm found in 5/4 music.

It's the bar after that keeps tripping me up. Some days I count it as a bar of 7/4, others as a bar of 8/4. It's mainly Zach's drums that are making it hard for me to count along, since there's a lack of a strong downbeat during those sections, unlike the 5/4 bars.

I'm a fairly amateur musician, so my counting skills in uncommon times aren't the best, so if anyone can confirm or correct me, that would be great.

hey guys I made you a mashup to tie you over until the album drop. twin peaks x dg works pretty good.

i was in a vc with a friend and randomly we talked abt what music we like, he told me rap and i told him that he should give crocodile tears by billy woods a try, he liked it, which then i told him to check out beware, he got into the video, everything seemed normal the only thing he said during the whole intro was "mhm, okay, well thats a guy pissing." (i told him it was steffy)

and right as the beat dropped, he instantly goes "oh?" and through the whole song he was just amazed, and now that i showed him that death grips exists, im wondering, what should i show him next? cuz i really want him to listen to birds but well, it aint gonna be so good when he goes from seeing such poetic lyrics to a fucking mc.suess lyrics

should i drag him to takyon? maybe guillotine? or maybe even bottomless pit since it kinda matches the way ride looks like someone who would beat the shit out of u if u say one wrong thing abt him?

(dw yall i told him ride is a cutey if he checks digs more to it)

so what do yall think?

(im very sorry for the grammar im stupid)

I'm doing my first listen of exmilitary in a good while - I've got to lord of the game and for some reason I could've SWORN the song was longer.

I have a weird thing where I remember song lengths and for some reason my mind was thinking 4:28. Then it comes in and it's only 3:30?

Is this bugged or am I bugged and insane

Death Grips 2015, The powers that B

Side A (NOTM) i can describe as uh... audibly incoherent. that's all i can really say. i like experimental rap; but this was overwhelming for the majority of the project

from the drums, the vocal chops from bjork, the lyrics

its all incoherent no clear structure

which isn't bad but is really hard to get onto

idk what to think on the first listen

imma have to give it a 6.5/10 for now but say hey kid has grown on me as of now

now side B (Jenny Death) is better for me and more put together for me

on gp is an amazing song and the over structure of the album is clearer, i also like WABGL

so side b gets a 7/10 so far

overall this is probably death grips most abrasive and brutal project even more than bottomless pit, as that project was chaotic but this is more sonically offensive imo

i have listened to death grips' money store and bottomless pit so far and im still putting bottomless pit as the top so far

Tbh I would go apeshit if they would come to Hungary or even Europe.

I think they still have stamina and the new formation with Nick Reinhart is not fully utilized and discovered.

His style seems very postmodernist so I'd like to read up on some similar stuff🤞

Was at a work function tonight and they had an ice cream spade (scoop) or luggage tag we could get engraved as a souvenir (super random I know). We were limited to two words only so there was only one real choice. (Sorry, hotel lightning makes it hard to see without zooming in).
