Death Grips Announce They’re “Over”

July 2nd, 2014

Noise hip-hop group Death Grips are always full of surprises, yet perhaps today’s is the biggest of all. Shortly after dropping a mixtape collaboration with Bjork, they’re calling it quits.

The band is known for canceling shows and dropping unexpected mixtapes, so who’s to say if this will hold true (or if they won’t reunite in a matter of months à la Thee Oh Sees). For now, it’s safe to assume the band’s telling the truth. No more shows, no more new music (apart from The Powers That B), and no more surprises. The Facebook post stating that they’re over reads as follows:

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.
