grandson returns with new single BRAINROT from third album INERTIA

Following 2023’s I Love You, I’m Trying, grandson is back with news of album number three.

The politically-minded Los Angeles superstar will drop his next record on September 5 via his own XX Records in partnership with Create Music, with lead single BRAINROT out today (May 30) – giving fans plenty of time to learn the words before next month’s appearance at Glastonbury.

“BRAINROT is about the distraction of the internet, the way our attention span is weaponised and attacked by technology companies to prevent any real momentum building on the pressing issues of our generation,” grandson begins.

“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 favourite 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 analogue sense of anger and energy that only rock’n’roll at its core, primal form can touch.”
