Such is apparent from its first track, inexplicably titled “You might think he loves you for your money but I know what he really loves you for it’s your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat”: a bottle being broken, followed by a screeching synth note, MC Ride’s screaming, and finally a blast of skull-slamming bass. Obviously, the whole point of the album and its scattershot release is to completely mess up your day. With that in mind, the release of Government Plates, posted on their Facebook as a free download, came as not only a fantastic surprise, but the best news all month.Īnd as for the album, Government Plates may just be Death Grips’ most abrasive, abstract work yet.

They previously announced that their next album was planned for a 2014 release. It was just a random song, released by a very reclusive band. Dropping a new song out of nowhere isn’t all that strange in today’s music landscape what was odd about “Birds” was its lack of accompaniment. The track takes on the form of a paranoid nursery rhyme that could be about their defunct Twitter account (“I got a bluebird / It might die / It got wetted / I stay dry”). Back in August, Death Grips dropped a song called “Birds,” a sonic fever dream that combines whining synths with MC Ride’s raps.
