Genius Annotation

“Birds” first appeared on August 21, 2013, and was the first new Death Grips song after they were dropped from their label and decided to just not show up to some of their shows. “Birds” was later included on their third LP, Government Plates, which was spontaneously announced and released for free on November 13, 2013.

A year later, when Government Plates was given its first proper physical release (on vinyl, no less), it was revealed that the guitar on this song was played by actor Robert Pattinson, best known as the main vampire guy from the Twilight film franchise. Pattinson and Death Grips have a bit of history together; there were rumors that the actor had appeared in a film directed by Death Grips drummer Zach Hill, and they were earlier seen in a photo together, along with Beyoncé, because nothing is out of the realm of possibility with Death Grips.
