EYOE presents: Death Grips at Roundhouse (Halloween)
(Saturday, October 29 at 7 PM – 11 PM)
When the elusive Bjork offers to record your vocals, and the late David Bowie states you as an influence for his final album, you kinda know you’ve gotta be doing something right.
Intimidatingly cool Californian four-piece Death Grips are often labelled by lazy journos as ‘alternative hip-hop,’ but that does a disservice to them, by discounting the eclectic mix of genres they’ve nodded to, during their six years together creating experimental soundscapes.
In their recent single ‘Giving Bad People Good Ideas’ – alone, blistering riffs of the metal persuasion drown out unrelenting shouts of punk-inspired rage and glitch-ridden synths – all sandwiched between the unexpected twee of a hook drowning in reverb.
Taken from Bottomless Pit, their third LP that Pitchfork calls “one of their most cohesive grotesques,” they’ve created a truly unique sound that you’re either love or hate. For those that dig them, this Roundhouse gig in October will be like nothing you’ve seen before.
