Grandson releases new single "Riptide"
Grandson has unveiled a brand new tune titled “Riptide” today.
The music video for the tune, which you can watch below, was directed by Karl Jungquist (Krewella, Marshmello). “Riptide” follows their previously released single “Identity.” When discussing the new music, Grandson said:
“These songs have a lot to do with the conflict we find between making painful change or dealing with the pain from staying the same with those familiar bad habits. One way or another, it’s gonna hurt like hell. Mike Shinoda co-produced and mentored me through this process, which began in a writing session at his studio with my longtime collaborator Boonn in early 2019. We had tried a couple ideas earlier in the day that I couldn’t get into, and then I picked up the guitar and played the intro riff and the song practically wrote itself. It was the first of this new era written, and while it addresses the pain of regret, the places we go to avoid confrontation, I’m proud to tell my story and hope that someone that hears it will find the strength to tell theirs.”
Earlier this year, Grandson started releasing songs under the Text Voter XX to 40649 collection, which gives listeners information on voter registration.
Last September, Grandson unveiled A Modern Tragedy Vol. 3.
