Grimes is Montreal-based Claire Boucher. She makes music. Her music is very listenable. She has just been signed to 4AD and will release a new album, entitled Visions, on February 21st. That’s all you need to know.

If the 1st track off the album, Oblivion, didn’t quite convince you that she’s going to be one of the breakout artists of 2012, then her new single definitely will .

Genesis is the 2nd cut off the album and is a beautiful and hypnotic track. It sounds like a more poppy Cocteau Twins – which basically means it’s amazing.
