Video : Grimes – Nightmusic (featuring Majical Cloudz)
Grimes’ striking album ‘Visions’ is still my top contender for album of 2012. The latest cut off the album to receive the video treatment is the haunting ‘Nightmusic’. Music to disappear to..

On The Horizon : Purity Ring
4AD - home to Grimes & Bon Iver - will release the highly anticipated debut full-length from Purity Ring, entitled Shrines, on July 24th.
The first full track to be unleashed from the forthcoming album, is “Obedear”. Dark, addictive and haunting – this is a future-pop gem.
Give it a listen below and let me know what you think.

Live : Grimes
Grimes recently stopped by Jools Holland and gave a brilliant performance of ‘Genesis’.
I am so in love with this girl. Her album, Visions, is by far one of my favorite releases of the year so far. Can’t wait to see her live.

Album Review : Grimes – Visions
The first entry for Album of 2012 has arrived.
I have been obsessed with Grimes (23-year old Claire Boucher) since finding out about her last year. Her tracks “Oblivion” and “Genesis” blew me away; and she deservedly topped everyone’s ‘Ones To Watch in 2012′ lists.
With expectations being high, I am pleased to say her third full length does not disappoint. In fact, it’s a 100 times better than I hoped it would be. And that’s a remarkable feat. Visions is “post-internet” music – like Bjork’s Post, but for the YouTube generation.
Grimes has crafted a cohesive piece of work, successfully mixing poppier elements into her traditionally atmospheric sound and fuses the eerie with the ethereal by layering her doll-like vocals on top.
Atmospheric, sometimes chilling and haunting – Visions is upbeat, faux futuristic dream-pop that demands repeated listens.
9/10
The lead single and one of many stand-out tracks on the album, “Genesis”, is out now. Check it out below.

Incoming : Grimes – Genesis
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.

Introducing : Dani Shivers
Dani Shivers is from Tijuana, Mexico. She makes music.
She describes her music as “the death of innocence” and lists suitable references that include Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Grimes, and Salem.
Her first single is called Witch and the video is based on the urban mythological snuff films that would capture actual murders on camera, with hints of “the castrating bitch” philosophy. It was co-directed by Shivers, processed in VHS and features real blood. Vulture approved.
