I don’t know how to write about music. I don’t know what time signatures are, what it means for a song to change time signatures, or if I like it when songs change time signatures. I don’t know what dubstep is or if it’s prohibitively uncool to like songs that experts call twee. I don’t know what distinguishes music that is brilliant because it is inaccessible from music that sucks because it is inaccessible. I don’t even know why I like the songs I like. Lacking insight into the real reasons for [...]
With so many great singles, remixes and other tracks that dropped over the past year, it seemed natural to balance out last week's list of albums with a rundown of our 80 favourite tracks from 2012. This one was a blast to create but it had to be capped somewhere, so we'd love for you to leave your own picks too. Check out the full 80 after the jump... 80. Permanent Vacation – It’s A Game 79. Ben Browning – I Can’t Stay [...]

Grimes' music spans genres and incorporates a range of influences, from industrial to indie to R&B. The Canadian singer/producer released her sophomore album Visions at the beginning of this year, after recording it in its entirety using Apple's Garage Band. It is in this way that Grimes is simultaneously eclectic and relatable. "Genesis" combines a catchy melody with a subtle sense of depth, and it showcases both Grimes' angelic vocals and her affinity for experimentation. Check out the song after the jump.
Vancouver-born and Montreal-based Grimes—or Claire Boucher—played Toronto’s Lee’s Palace on September 21 st along with two opening acts. Myths (comprised of Lief Hall and Quinne Rodgers) kicked things off just after ten, stage decorated with fake flowers and instruments draped in gauzy white cloth. Wearing skeleton and flower themed outfits, the duo’s electro-pop performance seemed somewhat out of sync and at times offered a ruthless sensory explosion—such as when one of the girls picked up and danced with the strobe light, blinding the audience every three seconds. Next up was Elite Gymnastics, or James Brooks—the other [...]
I think as a general rule for concerts. if they’re selling pussy rings inside, then you know you’re in for a good time. At the Union Transfer Thursday night, all the local hipsters, weirdos, and goth kids piled in to check out witch house act Grimes. Having minimal experience with Grimes beforehand, I went in not entirely knowing what to expect. As soon as Grimes first stroked her synth though, she cast her spell of gothic electronica and entranced me into her creepy cocoon. Opening up the set was Grimes’ [...]
We'll, LA's own Easy Girl just made me have a musical climax. What do we call that again? Oh yeah, The Eargazm . The original song Genesis by Grimes is already the sick nasty, but this remix is perfectly executed. This song takes you to a soft dreamlike world and allows your imagination to run free. The vocal edits and chops are soothing and the vocals are heavenly. It's an absolute listening experience. Also, who didn't love the gun sounds in MIA's breakout song Paper Planes [...]
Salvaje. Una auténtica fiesta visual, sin minimalismos ni sobriedades. Así es el nuevo video de Grimes para su tema 'Genesis' . Claire Boucher se supera a sí misma con atuendos imposibles, plataformas, parajes desérticos y un logrado híbrido entre candidez y persuasión. Perfecto para esta canción, la principal de 'Visions' , su tercer álbum. Los que amaron la excentricidad que esta mujer desbordó en su actuación durante el último Primavera Sound, serán fans de este video desde el minuto uno. 'Genesis' ha sido acreditada como una de las [...]
Claire Boucher (aka Grimes ) is no stranger to the strange, but this time the Canadian goth-pop sweetheart might just have out-weirded herself. Grimes' new video for “Genesis,” the second single from this year’s Visions , is a little Mortal Kombat, a tad witchy Britney Spears, and plenty awesome. Highlights include a pink-dreadlocked sexy cyborg and a sword-wielding lady gang. The track tinkers along through the barrage of visual insanity, and Boucher’s dreamy vocals only make the scenes more surreal. What else would you expect from the woman who brought us vulva-inspired rings [...]
Releasing the album Visions earlier this year, to near universal praise, Grimes has barely stopped since; she’s graced numerous magazine covers, made her 1st live TV performances in both the UK + the US, played shows across 3 continents (including a train tour of Canada with Diplo + Skrillex) & has just been nominated for the prestigious Polaris Prize in her native Canada. Teasing her fans with a trailer for the “Genesis” video earlier in the week, the full version is now online. Set in the Californian desert, it’s a futurist tour-de-force, [...]
Well this is FUCKING AWESOME......as is everything she does. Did I mention she directed it too? Her genius knows no bounds hence the reason why we love her so.

Previously posted on January 5, 2012 . Now the music video has finally dropped. Have a look at this weird music video. Love the song but the video just abit bizarre. Maybe that is why I prefer Oblivion since it had that Montreal feel and before she exploded. The big news coming out this week was Motnreal's Grimes being signed to 4AD . This is a big surprise for fans [...]
Las últimas notas que hemos dado sobre Grimes , una de las bandas, o mejor dicho artístas más interesantes surgidas en los últimos años, han sido sobre los vídeos de su último trabajo, Visions . Con ya bastantes temas presentados en forma de metraje para seguir promocionándolo, hace unas horas se presentaba uno nuevo. Esta vez la canción elegida es "Genesis" , en un vídeo claramente inspirado por Hieronymus Bosch. El tema, como sabéis, es además el primer sencillo que fue [...]
in her self-directed clip for “Genesis”, Grimes officially puts outs her world superstar-making performance. Through some ridiculous outfits, the insane Canadian dazzles when the spotlight is on her. I’m in complete awe of some of these dance moves in the dusty desert. Pick up Visions now .
Grimes , one of Idolator's Top Women About To Pop in 2012 , hails from Canada, but you'd think she just landed from outer space in her balls-out crazy video for "Genesis," a single off her album Visions . In the self-directed clip, the 24-year-old indie-pop artist hangs with an odd assortment of people — a woman in suggestive full-body armor and pink braids flashing some serious diva moves in particular — as well as a snake that very well might be Britney Spears ' long-lost "Slave 4 U" companion. (As [...]
