The latest solo LP from Godforbid, "How To Make Your Art Matter" speaks to everything falling apart with the ground crumbling below.
“It’s about action over art. About conquering the daily struggle, and the things you can’t control while not letting it turn you into a piece of sh*t,” he says.
The album features beats from the likes of Quandary, Louis Mackey, Mister Jason and THD veteran Jeremy Page, and it consists of political satire, antisocial camaraderie, militant swagger, calls to action, and even some noir heart break. Sprinkle in a bit of singer-songwriter Elena Goddard's voice on "One Day We'll Be Ugly" and close out with flexing punchline bravado and intricate flow patterns on "Real Fake" with A-F-R-O and you've got a potent recipe for a record that seeks to capture the utter chaos of America in 2020.

mmm thd.
(Great EP, love this! keep up the good work)
SAVAGES is just an amazing song
FAKE has some really good social commentary. EMERGENCY is great. ECHO CHAMBER & PENDULMONIUM sound like it's off YPAS (in a good way) probably because of the Surf Rock style guitar. overall really good & easily worth the money Peacooler
