Grimes - “Visions” LP

                            Grimes is the one-woman cyborg-pop project of Montreal’s Claire Boucher. Visions, her compulsively listenable third album, mixes clean, Aphex Twin-esque atmospherics with the immediacy of straight-up mall-pop (Think Stacy Q meets Tourist).

Showcasing tensions between pop structure and diffuse atmosphere, technology and the human body, sensory-overloaded hyper-presence and transcendence, it’s more solidly constructed and a lot more fun than anything she’s put her name to previously, an electro cotton-candy entryway to her peculiar kind of bliss.

Check out her newest video for the song “Vanessa” and stream her blog-torching track “Oblivion”, both off of her well-received third album “Visions” below:
