Ahead of the September 5 release of INERTIA, grandson is offering a (sadly) evergreen track, “GOD IS AN ANIMAL.” Preceded by “BRAINRIOT” and “SELF IMMOLATION,” grandson pulls no punches on his most recent single, channeling one of the most prolific dystopian authors along the way.
grandson shares, “Years ago, while on tour, I had this idea for a musical based off of George Orwell’s [Animal Farm], 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.”
