[@portcorner_noise]

this turned 15 years days ago... damn i was in my 30's when it came out, I am now in my 50's... its like 2008 again, still so good!

[@bortnik_bortnik]

[@vernathanvids]

this is literally one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

[@poopyjoe7883]

yeah man i first heard it back in 2017 and i always come back to it every few months and it absolutely floors me every time

[@Hillroad]

I want to hug Zach and never let go.

It took me 12 God damn years to hear this. I am completely blown away. I was washing dishes and listening to Astrological Straights in full for the first time (huge face tat fan I just been slackin okay) But God damn this track had me dancing and washing the dishes as if it were the end of the world and the dishes being done were the thing that was gonna save us all. 10/10. This song connected with me on such a deep level. Glad to come to the comments and see I'm not alone! Here's to hoping we get plenty more Zach music.

I want to invent a time machine so i can go back to when this was released and not have to wait 10 years to get round to hearing it. I heard Hella then DG then the ILys then this and it's all wonderful music and he's one very talented man. Bravo.

[@RoseangleWarrior]

[@Duckatac]

I have read the technical explanations for Zack Hill's playing. His use of complex time signatures and polyrhythms. The fact is, it sounds better when you stop trying to make sense of it.

[@8263.9-p]

This is the greatest song that has ever graced this earth

[@mercurylines]

He IS and has been for a long time now, a genius. This album is yet more proof.

[@ysf-psfx]

Considering the body of Death Grips' work now, I wonder how you feel about this comment 15 years later. It seems even more true every year. He's one of the greatest artists out there right now. We'll be talking about him a long time.

[@kraftyhandz]

This is such a summer song. Love it so much.

[@captainharlock2280]

will never stop being the best song ever. if i meet someone who can understand i will marry them.

[@Sofiasaaaao]

​@droughtaheadthis is so funny

[@MADD-MANX]

Yeah that place is truly like a gold mine for talent and creative geniuses.

[@valdyrfjordnur8987]

Holy shit I'd live in Sac. Cleanest streets I've ever seen. I wouldn't mind finding Zach and giving him a hug though.

[@passthesause3557]

The first moment of the song I``m convinced is sampled on I Break Mirrors With My Face In The United States

[@Ayin21]

I wish I coulda been there the fateful day this masterpiece was filmed to see zach fully decked out in corpse paint and metal gear running for his life down the side of the street

[@mizuno82]

@ducksoup4pa Zack Hill is a "feel" musician. He doesn't formulate rhythms, he feels them. This is how truly gifted people operate. They don't sit down and think "what new way can I use modes or time signatures today?" They simply hear a melody or complete song in their head and whatever that time signature ends up being is just circumstantial. Zack Hill doesn't set out to make "challenging" music. It's crippling to look at music as an engineering thing. That's not how great music is created.

[@LurkingMonkey]

That said, I really like this song. Zach Hill seems to be orienting his new output around building a groove moreso than playing a lotta notes real fast.

[@mordreddelavirac]

Man this is brilliant, i wish i knew about Zach Hill and Death Grips and the I.L.Y's back in the time where i stopped listening to music thinking there is no more good stuff out there.

[@sonicjoydivisonswans]

I saw him play necromancer last night, it was awesome!

I love the lyrics

[@boogster123321]

awesome song keep up the good work zach!!

[@whniwsyrsndtrck3279]

All these arguments about time signatures and modes and movements don't really have much relevance in Zach's music. He's not that kind of musician. Chris Pennie very much is, but Zach is the exact opposite of that. Technicality Vs. Feel is what it really all comes down to, and Zach is all feel.

[@larguicerdo4783]

The house at the beginning is the same house that appears in Lady Bird, holy shit, Sacramento really is a small place

[@UnkleToadus]

Very good stuff. Those of you who don't enjoy it just don't understand it, so don't hate.

[@TheDeadDonuts11]

the sound in the beggining of this song , im preety sure its the begging of " break mirrors with my face in the united states "

[@ofarevolution441]

this song's in 6/8 and 3/4. hardly groundbreaking time signatures, guys. regardless, this song's fantastic.

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love it!!

[@egekara7145]

one of the best songs ever made

[@snoun7933]

The first house, 45th Street. I saw this house robbed in the 80s from my bedroom window as a boy.

[@OrElseYouWillDie100]

Found it, thanks alot

[@pregenderneutral]

ha this guys pretty good i just saw wavves and hes touring with wavves and everybodies liike "YOU SAW ZACH HILL" and im like "oh the drummer" i didnt know he was this cool =) good thing i saw him

[@seenvision]

lol you're right the great thing about it is the fact that time signatures are obsolete in Zach Hill's music This is definitely the most straightforward of his tracks though

[@cewllguy]

idk what people are talking about, this is just 3/4 with syncopated rhythms. It is however awesome

[@explanationmark_]

this is fucking genius I LOVE YOU ZACH YOU THE MAN

[@Schwartzhund]

Couldn't agree more. Simply enjoy talent.

[@WordsofHeresy]

This is kvlt af

[@iceydaywalker9198]

is dat Dead from Mayhem? o,0

The quesation is have YOU heard the album? It's amazing.

HOORAY FOR RUNNING FOR NO REASON! good song

[@pitayau]

the black metal look with the blood in his mouth is everything lmaooo i love this guy

[@MonoGenerator]

So this is where immortal got their ideas for their videos. Nice!

[@BradOates]

cool video. reminds me of that old wax video. good stuff!

[@cwallis916]

pretty sure this is filmed in the fab 40's in east sac, folsom boulevard area

[@HUDcats]

pretty sure this was sampled in break mirrors with my face

[@cheetosfreetodorito1]

Some parts have a 4/4 feel, but the entire song is in 6/8.

[@CAKmusic]

@platinumdynamite 20th notes are very possible (depending on the tempo), just as 24th notes are possible. Note lengths and time signatures don't have to be based on powers of 2, that's just what people are accustomed to using.

[@bend222]

To all the people who think they know something about time signatures: Theoretically, 5/9 exists. but you would never say something is in 5/9 because you could just say 5/4 instead and it would be much, much easier. As for this song, in my opinion most of it is in 12/8 and then the chorus switches to 3/4 while keeping the 8th notes the same tempo. If you think Zach Hill is beyond time signatures, he's not. Music theory underlies everything he plays even if you aren't aware of it.

[@boogster123321]

i just like they zach hill runing look like the most epic thing ever.

[@donsebbe]

Happen to me recently: Drink super strong coffee, go jogging and listen to this song, start laughing your ass off while jogging thinking about this video :D

[@closedmouth]

You must've been listening to the wrong album, Astrological Straits is actually amazing.

[@chetan4778]

Everyone is talking about zach running but nobody is talking about the cameraman running with him

[@BlemishesNow]

it's probably a car lmao

[@vernathanvids]

i use this song to calm myself down

[@sugoipop16]

@StarkMevens They are. The 4 denotes the length of one beat (a quarter), the 6 represents the number of said notes in a bar (6). 12/8 would be 12 8th notes in a bar, 2/2 is 2 half notes in a bar. Basic music theory

[@akiravelicka8363]

what a awesome drummer, imagine if he starts a experimental hip hop trio with two other guys and get a 10 rating from a random bald guy that is very relevant in the music scenario for some reason

@HexenDruken Awesome Spinal Tap reference. Props.

[@thomaswilliams4221]

‘I’m da joker, baby’

[@sungtongs]

@ofarevolution441 I quite agree, although what I usually like most about him is how he manipulates within such standard time signatures. Taking something common and making it uncommon - creativity at its best.

[@scrapeape]

didn't notice before how similar this is to a Marnie Stern song.

[@scottjensen1380]

he's played drums on some marnie songs... For Ash comes to mind

[@scrapeape]

+Zkoat Yen-zen I think he plays on all of em. at least for the first few albums.

[@Seth-hc2bj]

She does the spoken intro to the astrological straits track Necromancer actually!

[@RawTranquility]

dur dur timesignatures dur dur dur dur dur who gives a fuck, this shit is good.

[@hackskillz1]

@anAncientegyptian it swaps between 6/8 and 3/4 which is somewhat common. search: the dance of eternity for some intense time signature change.

[@jakestewartmusic]
