grandson shares new Orwellian track, "GOD IS AN ANIMAL"
Los Angeles-based artist grandson (aka Jordan Benjamin) has released "GOD IS AN ANIMAL" as the latest preview of his forthcoming album, INERTIA.
“Years ago while on tour I had this idea for a musical based off of George Orwell’s 1984, where a farm animal realizes to run the farm it has to move like a human. After a couple iterations of that, I decided to release the title track from it on INERTIA, and trust that if that project is meant to be, it’ll find its way to the light someday. It’s certainly a fitting concept for the present moment in time. After all, we live in a ruthless world, supposedly ‘civilized’, where the dominating nations and religions scrapped their way to the top through the savage rule of the animal kingdom. We’re ultimately just apes, too smart (or stupid) for our own good.”
INERTIA will be released on 5 September via his own endeavour XX Records in partnership with Create Music.
