Listen to grandson’s new single, GOD IS AN ANIMAL

With less than a month to go until his new album INERTIA drops, grandson has just shared another single and video.

Following last month’s SELF IMMOLATION and May 2025 lead single BRAINROT, this one’s called GOD IS AN ANIMAL, and Jordan Benjamin explains, “Years ago while on tour I had this idea for a musical based off of George Orwell’s 1984, where a farm animal realises 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,” he adds. “After all, we live in a ruthless world, supposedly ‘civilised’, 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 is released on September 5 via XX Records in partnership with Create Music.
