Death Grips explain drummer absence, working on film soundtrack and new album

-

Ever ones to evoke much furore and controversy, Death Grips caused confusion of a different kind on their recent trip to the UK, after a noted absence of drummer Zach Hill.

Now, however, the noise-rap outfit have clearly a few things up in a statement released online, where they reveal that Hill is currently at home in California recording music for an upcoming Death Grips-made and Death Grips-scored new motion picture, as well as laying down drum tracks for a new Death Grips album.

The statement also reveals third member, Andy Morin, to still be in the group. You can read the message in full beneath:

“Zach is currently writing, directing and soundtracking an original feature film. The movie is of his own creation, fictionally based and not related to the group. The film will be soundtracked with all new Death Grips music. He is also working on and recording the new Death Grips album at the moment. Death Grips is Stefan. Zach. Andy. Zach is very much still in Death Grips.”
