"a hybrid of sorts"
Granite Chief is the experimental project by Grant Benziger (Yelawolf, The Curly Wolf). The sound is, well... a hybrid of sorts. On the track Don't Mind Me, the blend is indie pop with hip hop affectations, a rap back bone but also alternative rock and electronica all in one. I also feel a sort of surreal pop feel and at one point I though of Gorillaz (maybe it was the "AWWooom" and acoustic rhythms underneath).

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
Formed by Grant Benziger in 2017 in Redondo Beach, Ca, Granite Chief was used as an outlet to experiment with a new creative direction. Blending Folk music, Electronic, and rock n roll with anthemic chorus and deep atmospheric layers.
Just after the first release it was put on hiatus as Grant toured with Yelawolf nationally and internationally for two years playing guitar and banjo. Upon stepping down it was time for a big life change this record came to fruition dealing with the darker side of life and crawling out slowly toward the light.
