Grimes is the inventive work of Claire Boucher, a project that has gained notoriety since its inception back in early-2010. Moving to Montreal from Vancouver in 2006, she developed Grimes among the city's burgeoning DIY scene; a scene where both punk ethos and pop music collide, resulting in a distinct sense of community, religiosity and psychedelic revelry. Review: A Great Find - I'm delighted I stumbled across Grimes recently, anyone who enjoys dance music that crosses genres should try this. Dance/pop may be the most accurate description, though dance/indie may give you a better idea of the albums feel. It is certainly not the ubiqutous David Guetta type sound anyway. Another reviewer described a track as "retro-futuristic" a label I might apply to the whole album. When I first got the album I was fixated on tracks 2 & 3, genesis and oblivion, and didn't get much further than no.8 Be a body, which I liked, but not to the extent of it being a "highlight" as it was for others, I rather lazily expected the rest of the album to be listenable filler. When I finally listened through no's 10,11 +12 blew me out the water! Review: A perfect album by a perfect artist - The first time I heard Grimes was when Genesis came out from this album. Haven't looked back since. It's strange to think how far she's come since then and the gain in popularity since Art Angels. Despite Halfaxa and Heidi Primes both being works of art too. I'm just glad that now she gets the recognition that she deserves. Such a beautiful artist, both musically and physically! I love that she creates her album artwork herself, she truly expresses herself through her art forms, which is really not something you get very often anymore.

Grimes
More than anything, this reminds me of a cross between Art of Noise and Cranes. It's a great album, by and large, although it is in danger of disappearing up its own arse at a couple of points. It's quite arty, but there is enough pop in there to stop it from being tiresome, and the ambient feel to it is nice for driving music. On the whole, very pleased with it. I'm not sure it would make me buy anythng else by them, but saying that, I bought the album on the strength of the single.

Wish I could see her live ...
You may have been attracted by Oblivion (love the video) but stay on and get hooked by Genesis, Skin and the rest. The sounds are darker and more ethereal than Artangels; another Grimes tour de force.

Comprei esse LP no dia 29 de março e aguardei ansiosamente a chegada do mesmo no dia 30 de abril. No momento da entrega não deu outra: só felicidade! Grimes abusa de melodias que tocam o espírito, faixa a faixa do álbum; sem dizer que a qualidade do vinil é incrível e me proporcionou momentos de muito prazer. Nota 10!

Grimes es de esas cantantes que se salen de lo cotidiano y te da una experiencia única a lo largo de Visions y su discografía en general. No es para todos, aunque es de las pocas cantantes que escribe, compone y produce toda su música, cosa que se aprecia un montón. El producto me llegó en perfectas condiciones.
