grandson details third studio album, INERTIA

Speaking of the track, which marks his first new music since writing the theme song for the film Venom, and is his first solo offering in over two years, grandson says, “BRAINROT is about the distraction of the internet, the way our attention span is weaponized and attacked by technology companies to prevent any real momentum building on the pressing issues of our generation.

The music was written with two of my best friends in their flat in East Hollywood, and produced and mixed by the legendary Mike Crossey, who has done some of my favorite records. He pushed me to a level of artistic focus and quality control I’ve never been pushed to before. It’s the first grandson song ever recorded exclusively with live instruments- drums, guitars, vocals and marks the next chapter of my career as a recording artist, in pursuit of an authentic feeling, an analog sense of anger and energy that only rock and roll at its core, primal form can touch.”

INERTIA is the sound of grandson becoming lean and ferocious. The overarching theme is a clamour for what he calls a “growing need for class solidarity that can be achieved by seeing that across any political spectrum, people stand to benefit from the consolidation of power in the hands of the many against the few.”

“So many people are fighting for different things,” he concludes. “I believe that finding connection with one another, through music or otherwise, and making collective demands for a brighter, better future, can lead us to a more holistic way of living, thinking, and consuming. It all starts with a cathartic release of energy.
