By Storm's music has boundarylessness and emotional impact in equal measure.

By Storm take the scorched-earth experimentation of By The Time I Get To Phoenix and turn it inward on My Ghosts Go Ghost, shaping grief, intimacy and abstract psychedelia into their most human record yet.

Where By The Time I Get to Phoenix presented a bright red canvas, My Ghosts Go Ghost retains the in-between, empty bits of canvas, burn-holes maybe even. Its stark contrasts and melancholy work better on each spin, revealing artists who are wrestling with existential situations. There is no solution after the apocalypse, just questions. After the collapse, after the funeral, after the album of their life – what’s left?

The experimental rap duo are sharp and engaging on (technically) their debut album.

What gives it staying power is its emotional clarity; its deep wells of feeling that slice apart the digi-chaos like beams of light through a swollen sky.

RiTchie and Parker Corey’s first album after the passing of Groggs is an adventurous, compelling reformation from a one-time rap group.

Somewhere between a sax and a hard place, the experimental rap duo pushes boundaries and breaks new ground.

After the death of Injury Reserve’s Stepa J. Groggs, the surviving members of the hip-hop collective form a new group with a contemplative, improvisational spirit.

On June 29th, 2020, Stepa J. Groggs of Injury Reserve passed away. He was 32.
In 2021, the remaining members of Injury Reserve released "By The Time I Get to Phoenix", mostly about this loss, and the future of the group was uncertain. In an interview, Ritchie was asked about the future of the group, and responded "I can imagine [Groggs] joking and saying: 'Y'all better still do this shit!'. But then I can also imagine him saying: 'You better not step on a ... read more

“Why are we afraid of the first time? Every day in life is a first time. Every morning is new. We never live the same day twice. We're never afraid of getting up every morning. Why?” - Mr. Ota in Edward Yang's Yi Yi (2000)
Life is confusing. Death is as much so. To try and make sense of it- any of it- is a fool's errand. Everybody remembers their first major death in life. For me, it was my great-grandmother a couple of years back. It wasn’t the first death ... read more
скажу сразу, я не читал тексты и особо не вникал в то что они читают, а о группе я знаю только то что у них в 2020 или 2021 погиб участник и слушал я только by the time i get to phoenix
так вот к чему я это. на протяжении целого альбома меня не отпускало ощущение, будто не у них умер участник ... read more
Experimental Hip-Hop has really seen its peak in the 2010s and 2020s, and one of the artists that made that happen was Injury Reserve. The trio of Groggs, Ritchie and Parker Corey put together great albums like their self titled “Injury Reserve” album, and it looked like nothing would stop them… Until tragically Groggs passed away in 2020, leaving the group as a duo. This led to the creation of the final Injury Reserve album, and arguably their greatest work yet, By The Time ... read more
