♫♪  Death Grips - Black Google

If you google “black google,” these are the first three sites you’ll find:

(1) Blackle: a Google custom search that ostensibly saves energy because the homepage’s screen is predominantly black.
(2) Blackl: a Google custom search that ostensibly saves energy because the homepage’s screen is predominantly black.
(3) BPLED (Black Power LED): a Google custom search that ostensibly saves energy because the homepage’s screen is predominantly black.

Aside from its title, Death Grips’ Black Google has nothing obvious to do with this apparent, through-an-ecosystem-darkly trend. However, there is something similar between these energy-saving engines and DG’s new free release: just as Blackle does a reversal on the standard (blinding!) Google page by turning white into black, Black Google is a project about actual deconstruction. More than an album or a re-release, it’s a gift to DJs and engineers across the world, a file package of all the individual instrumental and vocal stems from Death Grips’ recent album Exmilitary.

It is now IN YOUR POWER to take one track’s guitar, another’s drums, sync their tempo, and remix some of MC Ride’s bellows atop. The original album was intense (though not too intense for seat belts). Now, any fan who wants to borrow and funnel that intensity into a Death Grips Frankenstein Monster of her own has the means to do so. An example of such can be heard in the chilling video above by Sean Metelerkamp.
