Following last month’s comeback single Eulogy, grandson is back
with more new music and the announcement of his next album.
Highly-anticipated LP I Love You, I’m Trying is due out on May 5
via Fueled By Ramen, with the artist explaining that the 12 tracks that make up
the record comprise “the album that 16-year-old me needed”.
“I’m painting the intimate portrait of myself I know how – covering
themes of self-harm, family trauma, the hidden side of life on the road, and so
much more,” he says. “This is the album that 16 year old me needed. This is the
album I was scared to write and the album fans of mine deserve to hear. Above
all this is the album where I face a big question: can I handle the changes
life throws at me, and if this all that there is to life, can it be enough to
be happy?”
To mark the announcement grandson has dropped next single
Drones, which he calls “a twisting, spiralling journey through the lies we tell
ourselves to get through the day when the hard truth may bury us.
“I wanted to pay homage to bands like Tool and System Of A Down
known for unpredictable time signatures but bring 808s and hip hop into it.”
