Music: Grandson – Little White Lies: Questioning Truth with Punk-Fueled Rage

Grandson (Jordan Edward Benjamin) is an American-Canadian singer, songwriter, and genre-blending artist known for combining alternative rock, punk urgency, hip-hop energy, and political commentary. Since his breakout with tracks like Blood // Water and his continued evolution across albums like Death of an Optimist and I Love You, I’m Trying, grandson has carved out a reputation for music as protest and personal reflection. His third album INERTIA (2025) furthers his incisive voice, addressing modern social, political, and cultural tensions with visceral sound and unfiltered lyricism.

“LITTLE WHITE LIES” — released on INERTIA (September 5, 2025) — is a hard-hitting track that tackles hypocrisy, faith-based politics, and systemic deception. Beginning with a spoken-word intro and punctuated by dense instrumentation, the song pushes back against the whitewashing of religious narratives and the misuse of belief systems to justify exclusionary agendas. Lines like “Jesus was a 5-foot-4 brown-skinned socialist” and the repeated rejection of “little white lies” confront the listener with a critique of authority and propaganda, transforming frustration into raw sonic confrontation
