Dyspeptic avant industrial hip hop outfit Death Grips have joined the great majority, are pushing up daisies and are most definitely not pining for the fjords according to a statement issued via their Facebook page late last night (Wednesday). The group, who entered the consciousness of tQ with their excellent Ex-Military mix tape in 2011 and albums The Money Store, No Love Deep Web and Government Plates are downing tools after three busy years.
The statement read: "We are now at our best and so Death Grips is over. we have officially stopped. all currently scheduled live dates are canceled. our upcoming double album the powers that b will still be delivered worldwide later this year via Harvest/Third Worlds Records. Death Grips was and always has been a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision. above and beyond a "band". to our truest fans, please stay legend."
