Following last month’s powerful performance at Glastonbury, grandson has just unveiled a new single.

Taken from his forthcoming album INERTIA, this new track goes by the name SELF IMMOLATION, and as Jordan Benjamin explains, it was inspired by “the Palestinian liberation movement across college campuses, inspired by the late Aaron Bushnell who gave his life in protest of the actions of the very military he served, inspired by the dead students of Kent State 1970, and written about what it means to have a cause to live for, to die for.

“I wrote it with my friends, each of us playing an instrument live together, in a stoned, free, creative place in Andrew’s studio one afternoon, and it was a feeling we locked into across the whole album. It was a blast to create, and we all felt a great deal of purpose and meaning in the session that day.”
