clipping. – Change the Channel

Clipping’s “Change the Channel”, a precursor to their upcoming album Dead Channel Sky (dropping March 14th), is an explosive introduction to their new album cycle, blending relentless industrial hip-hop with a dystopian, techno-infused aesthetic.

The track is both a frenetic standalone and a gateway into a broader narrative, weaving together themes of survival, disarray, and the clash between analog and digital worlds. David Diggs’ rapid-fire delivery is as sharp as ever, propelling listeners through a dense, chaotic soundscape sculpted by William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes. The production layers pounding drums, dissonant electro-static, and cinematic sound design, evoking a visceral urgency.

Thematically, the track situates itself as a synthesis of hip-hop’s raw roots and cyberpunk’s speculative edge. It’s a call to action and an invitation to chaos, suggesting a world where survival depends on adaptability and encoded knowledge. The song’s dense structure recalls Clipping’s penchant for storytelling, and this approach only deepens their reputation as sonic architects of alternate futures.
