The Money Store by Death Grips

The first of two new Death Grips albums, The Money Store, will be released on CD via Epic Records on 04/24/12. A vinyl version will be available on 04/21/12.

Death Grips - "Get Got"

Death Grips - "Blackjack"

TWO new Death Grips albums this year!!

Apparently, Death Grips have been going at it in the studio harder than I intially thought. They have come up with enough material for TWO new full length records!! Both albums will be out this year, with the first one coming in April. In interviews, it has been stated that all Death Grips music will be made available for free download on thirdworlds.net with some kind of tangible release later on.

Upcoming Releases

There are a few vague references from different sources claiming that Vooredoms (Boredoms) have been working on a new record. Considering Zach has been a member of the band since 2008, it is safe to assume that he will be on this album but that is completely unconfirmed.

Zach has a solo album coming out on Porter Records which will be released on limited edition vinyl!!!! Porter initially had this album listed as being available on CD and LP but the CD information has been removed from their catalog.

Nervous Cop has finished an EP though I'm having trouble finding any talk of it now. It was mentioned on a2b2.org a while ago but that information has since vanished.

Death Grips will be releasing their second album this year.

These four albums do not currently have official release dates.

UPDATE: On 02/07/11, Death Grips announced that they will be releasing TWO new records this year!!

FACE TAT with one bonus song!!

While looking through discogs.com, I noticed that there is an alternate release of FACE TAT!! It came out in Japan via Sleepwell Records and Daymare Recordings and there is one extra song at the end called "Fake-ID"!!!! Another difference is that the cover image is given an entirely orange hue or (more likely) it comes in an orange CD case instead of clear. I'm working on getting a copy but if anyone has one now or plans on getting one, please report on "Fake-ID" when you get a chance.

Death Grips 2012

Death Grips have been working on a new LP which will be released this year.

The Bug, a project by Kevin Martin, will feature Death Grips as a guest on his upcoming LP.

Flössin - White Anaconda + The Rainbow Boa

The third release from Flössin, White Anaconda + The Rainbow Boa, is now available through overlap.org's bandcamp site. This album features the same line-up as Serpents: Zach Hill, Christopher Willits, Carson McWhirter, Matmos and Nate Boyce. Anyone familiar with this group's music knows the new album will destroy in all ways. If you don't know the might of Flössin, please get all three of their albums as soon as possible. This is one of Zach's longest running projects and each release is outstanding.

NEW FLÖSSIN RECORD!!!!!

Posted 12/01/11 via Christopher Willits:

"Mastering the newest Flössin tracks right now. This is my band project with ZACH HILL and Matmos and Nate Boyce and Carson McWhirter. Complex mixes to say the least.. whoa. There's so much sound that it becomes a relaxing wash of noise."

What a glorious surprise! This will be the third release from the force to be reckoned with known as Flössin. If you don't have their two incredible albums, Lead Singer and Serpents, get them NOW!!! The new album is currently untitled and will be available from overlap.org very soon.

VOOREDOMS 111BOADRUM

On 11/11/11, Vooredoms (Boredoms) will present 111Boadrum, a performance featuring eleven drummers and one hundred cymbal players. It will take place at Island Quarry in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. This is the fifth event in their Boadrum series which began on 07/07/07 with 77Boadrum. 

From 1986 to 2002, Boredoms were a very guitar driven band. Later in their career, highlighted in the Super Roots series, they moved towards a tribal sound. Ultimately, they transformed into V∞redoms, a group consisting of three drummers and eYe Yamatsuka manipulating various sounds and vocals. The earliest performances included a solo intro by eYe using orbs to project sounds. This unit developed a monstrous piece of music, culminating in the first Boadrum event in 2007. They chose seventy-four drummers to go with their core of three, having a total of seventy-seven drummers perfoming an intricately crafted composition. Rhythms were passed from each musician until they were all playing in unison with many different beats being played simulatenously as the passing overlapped. The second event, 88Boadrum, featured eighty-eight drummers, with Zach being number eighty-eight. This event expanded on the original music and theme, with performances in Los Angeles and Brooklyn blending into each other on 08/08/08. Boadrum 9 and 10 were cut down to 9 and 10 drummers, which has been the main line up for any show they have played since 09/09/09. Zach has been a part of this band since 88Boadrum on 08/08/08 in Los Angeles, CA at the La Brea Tar Pits.
