Death Grips, now signed to Epic Records, have revealed plans to release two full-lengths this year. The first is called 'The Money Store,' which will be released on April 24. The band have just released the cover art and a tracklisting.


The art was drawn by Chicago artist Sua Yoo. Originally for a zine, the work has been modified to include the band's name carved into one of the people's chests.

In a statement, the group explained their stance on the art:


"On the cover you have an androgynous masochist on the leash of a feminist sadist who's smoking. The sadist has carved Death Grips into her bitch's chest. There is an overly confident quality to the woman smoking and a calmness to the androgynous masochist... We consider ourselves feminists, we fiercely support homosexuality, transparent world leadership, and the idea of embracing yourself as an individual in any shape or form. Acceleration is a mantra, we're not a political band, we are freaks and outsiders. It was important to project that message and energy through the artwork of this album. This is free thinking and eternally open-ended music… [The cover] is like an ambassador to the sound."


The follow up to 'The Money Store' will be released later in the year and titled, 'No Love.'
