Everything about MC Ride’s delivery is furious, but the Death Grips aesthetic owes as much to beatmaker Zach Hill’s manic thrash production. The California group broke through in a big way with their 2012 debut album, The Money Store, pairing helter-skelter industrial electronics with riotous noise-punk and hip-hop force. It’s impossible to listen to Death Grips and not feel a distinct anger crackling through every composition, but the precisely crafted turbulence of tracks like “Hacker” and the uncompromising construction of “Guillotine” find a deranged harmony in the disorder of their music.
