I haven't been charting it or anything, but I've been writing these lists for the better part of a year now, and despite a few slow weeks, they seem to get better all the time. So here's something to chew on: We could be living through a new golden era of the music video, even if most of the great videos coming out these days are way low-budget and have basically no chance of airing on even the remotest cable channels. Below, we've got two sponsored videos, from Urban Outfitters and Funny Or Die, which is a new thing in [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Here’s the new video for Grimes ’ Genesis , one of the best tracks off her Visions album. The internet seems to hate it, but I can’t figure out why. It’s actually pretty standard video fare these days. I wonder if the internet would like it better if we said Romain Gavras directed it rather than Claire Boucher herself? Visions is out now. Buy Grimes’s music from: [...]

The video for Genesis is even weirder than Grimes' music, which is great .

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 [...]

Grimes nos presenta el video de "Genesis" su más reciente sencillo. El video dirigido por ella misma representa perfectamente la onda de Grimes, con una mezcla rara de Mortal Kombat, espadas, serpientes y camionetotas. Enjoy.

New Grimes video for Genesis. I really want to learn her "directing the traffics" dance. Oh Grimey. posted by @tristanorchard

La cantante canadiense Claire Boucher , más conocida como Grimes , se ha convertido en una de las artistas electrónicas más habladas de la blogósfera. Y seguro dará aún más que hablar con su nuevo video para Genesis . Hace algunos días, la cantante había lanzado un tráiler para el video, que en realidad no tiene una narrativa demasiado lineal pero que se acompaña quizás con las estructuras esquizofrénicas de la canción. Después del lanzamiento de su disco [...]

[Claire Boucher, a.k.a, Grimes] The video for Genesis is one step into the weird workings of Claire Boucher's mind. The self-directed piece features Grimes and stripper/rapper Brooke Candy spiritually gallivanting in front of various settings. Genesis is taken from the album, Visions , out now on 4AD / Arbutus . Atom [...]

Pienso que la personalidad de Claire Boucher nos dejaba ver, desde los primeros días de Grimes, que esta mujer lograría tarde o temprano cierto éxito. Y su carrera no ha dejado de avanzar, prueba de esto es el lanzamiento de su disco Visions a través del legendario sello 4AD. Ahora, Grimes nos comparte el video de ‘Genesis’ , un track extraído de este LP. El clip de ‘Génesis’ fue dirigido por la misma Boucher, quien se [...]
In which our crush on Claire Boucher intensifies ten-fold. The excellent Visions is out now. Read more articles like " Grimes: "Genesis" Video " on Pretty Much Amazing . Tags: Grimes
" Genesis " happened to be one of our favorite songs of the past year, so the music video was certainly a treat much anticipated. While we were sure it was going to be great, no one could have expected it to be this great. That is, if you enjoy sword fights, pythons, crazy costumes, slow-motion, and a bunch of other weird shit. This is a fun song, a really fun song in fact. But I can't imagine how exhilarating it must have been to frolic around in an outlandish outfit like the actors in this film, all [...]

I scoffed at the idea of a "trailer" for a music video. I scoffed. And now I swoon. That's right, Grimes (Claire Boucher) released a trailer for her upcoming music video to accompany the brilliant track "Genesis" earlier this week. And I wanted nothing to do with it. But today, I eat crow. Because the music video is pretty amazing. Things you will see if you watch the Grimes video for "Genesis" (directed by Ms. Boucher, herself): Grimes holding a yellow python Grimes [...]
We've already seen the trailer , and now the full self-directed video for Grimes' " Genesis " is here. And it's fucking nuts . There's no real narrative here; best to think of it as a headlong plunge into Grimes' mall-mystic aesthetic. Flaming swords! Deserts! Pythons! Extreme makeup decisions! Floor-length bright-pink braids! Escalades! There's a lot going on here, and it's all fun and weirdly beautiful. Enjoy the video and download the song below. Read More...

Is the Grimes train slowing down? Ha, absolutely not, and Claire's back with a new video for the now aged - but still very brilliant - "Genesis", from this year's Vision LP. continue reading >>
