Last night the wonderful Claire Boucher, AKA Grimes , was on the late night American TV circuit. I was surprised to find out it was actually her debut on the TV Stateside considering we've already seen her on Jools Holland earlier in the year but hey, we'll take what we can get from her. She visited Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform a track from her album Visions in the shape of "Genesis". Give it a watch at the top of the page.

Tonight we got our first American live TV network debut by Grimes as she appeared on Jimmy Fallon 's show performing "Genesis" . It's great to see her reaching a wider audience as this is by far the biggest she's played to, and I can hear the reaction of the wider mainstream American audience wondering what the fuck it is that they just watched. It's called awesome music, America, that's what. "Genesis" is taken from Grimes [...]

From a dark stage to sunshine on the open road, Midi Matilda takes us on a journey through love and relationships with “Love & The Movies.”
Ha sido un gran año para Claire Boucher con la proyeccion 'masiva' que han tenido sus multiples proyectos, encabezados como Grimes . Esto, es algo que se vio perfectamente reflejado durante su presentacion en la pasada edicion del Primavera Sound, ya que ese show ha sido el mas grande que ha dado Claire hasta el momento, asi que la gente de P4k se dio a la tarea de crear un pequeño documental de nombre "En El Laberinto", en donde nos muestran algunos detalles sobre la estancia de Grimes en Barcelona hace un mes. Ademas, en [...]
Já tinha citado neste blog algumas referências a Claire Boucher (temas "Genesis" no PodKraak #26 e "Oblivion" aqui), uma menina prodígio com uma voz arrebatadora cujo alter-ego já é bastante conhecido nos meios alternativos em Portugal: Grimes. Depois de uns EPs e após ter sido descoberta pela britânica 4AD, esta pequena maravilha em casar os estilos lo-fi com dance music é algo que feito

What happens if you dust off a six year old song like Skepta's huge 'Duppy' (on which Jammer guested), change the song title, remove MC Creed's chanting voice and also reworks a few lines here and there like " I'm a big man but I'm not 40 " instead of " [...] I'm not 30 " (since Jammer hit that big 30 last month)? Invite some new (and old guests from the original) to spit on it like Viper, JME, B Live, Scratchy, Lay Z, Sox and Flowdan? Well, you have created = easy recipe for a hit. [...]

Les rois du grime en provenance de Manchester et le canadien Mark Instinct avaient lâché une preview de « Venom » il y a pas mal de temps, cette semaine le clip voyait le jour sur la toile. Mélange grime/hip-hop/dubstep efficace permettant de se rendre compte du talent certain de chacun des protagonistes.

Certaines personnes ont du talent et de l'inspiration, d'autres ont la chance d'être connues pour faire ce qu'elles veulent, enfin certaines ont tout, comme ces demoiselles. Comment une après-midi entre copines peut finir par une vidéo Youtube qui fait le buzz et un titre pas si dégueulasse que ça, voilà ce que nous expose Grimes, Kreayshawn et leurs copines indie/arty/hipsters. L$D c'est juste comme un goûter d'anniversaire qui, à force de weed et de corona, a tourné en atelier artistique. Kreayshawn et son flow typique, Grimes et sa prod atypique, une caméra et des fringues marrantes : voilà [...]
He aquí otro vídeo de una de las artistas que apareció en el Primavera Sound 2012, festival del que muchos disfrutásteis hace unas semanas. Hablo de Grimes , artista canadiense, aunque hablar sólo de ella no sería justo ya que lo que os presento a continuación es en realidad una creación de L$D (el nombre le viene al pelo), proyecto en el que también participan Kreayshawn, Blood Diamonds y Gragik, y que como dicen en Stereogum , parece que no tardaron mucho en grabar. Y esto es porque la canción [...]
