Death Grips is a very strange musical act. You either “get it” or you don’t. Somehow, I recently managed to understand and appreciate this project but it took a very long time to digest.

I had a similar experience with the inaccessible nature encompassing the “Drone” genre, but sometimes certain unique musical offerings take a long time to grasp and accept.

The internet-friendly Sacramento hip hop trio return with a fifth LP this week expanding on the bizarre sound they have become known for. Bottomless Pit consists of frontman MC Ride‘s signature vocal outburst poetry backed by the familiar noisey, punky, droney production/instrumentation of members Zach Hill and Andy Morin.

It is another solid offering of the Death Grips discography that will undoubtedly please fans of the group but I warn you: Death Grips is not for everyone.
