Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

Don't mean to get anyone's hopes up with this bump, but just heard this unreleased song for the first time, v nice:

hum... it's not bad but not much happening within 4+min... so yeah, a demo...

It's no REALiTi (demo), that's for sure.

Is that some kind of vocal filter or is she just singing entirely through her nose?

well, she's lost me with this and W.A.P.

she says in the description this was written & produced in 1-2 hours so i guess it's not bad for that but i'd much rather she finished the album instead of releasing throwaways like this

I liked 'We Appreciate Power' better than much of Art Angels but this is just bland.

"she says in the description this was written & produced in 1-2 hours"

always find this kinda stuff annoying. like "just a lil sketch i did in the bathroom not even trying rly lol". yeah, ok. thanks?

sheesh, I miss the days when people would just throw half-finished ideas and sketches on their myspace page or w/e and they'd either resurface years later as finished tracks or be one-off things some fan would remember down the line

yeah me too. I love demos/sketches/work material - in addition to, you know, AN ACTUAL NEW ALBUM

She’s always been really bad at lip synching in her videos.

new album is titled 'Miss_Anthrop0cene' and is going to be mostly 'ethereal nu-metal' in line with WAP unfortunately but she says she might release some more synth-based songs that didn't fit on the album before it's out

excellent news

1. mis·an·thrope
noun:
a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society.
2. Anthropocene: The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on the Earth’s Geology and ecosystems including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change. ————————————

oh nice, i didn't get the pun until she explained it! :P

kick out the technofascist jams !

does anyone think global warming is a good thing? i love lady gaga. i think she's a really interesting artist

this songs not great. WAP was not very good, but ethereal numetal could work in theory.. im kind of scared that i gaslighted myself into liking art angels and im reluctant to revisit it...

ethereal numetal makes me think of evanescence

lmao that's what i thought of too monotony

Each song will be a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star Demonology.

...but enough about Man of the Woods.

i gaslighted myself into liking art angels

Don't blame yourself, blame ILX.

Anyway, I look forward to this, Evanescence comparisons and all.

Hum. I got off after REALiTi (demo) although I loved her previous stuff... and it doesn't look like her evolution will pull me back in...

im kind of scared that i gaslighted myself into liking art angels and im reluctant to revisit it...

art angels still rules and while it's a little less consistent and cohesive than visions, the highs are way higher

Yeah, Art Angels is pretty amazing.

I like We Appreciate Power a lot, so this is good news

Art Angels is still good

I genuinely like Art Angels but idk I want to say it's a New Jersey- WITH QUALIFIERS...

god that new interview with her is cringey as fuck, what an insufferable person

Claire is a perfectly fine fucking name. Just be Claire, dumbass.

call-out culture is the dumbest fucking thing on earth

it was a glib and possibly dumb joke, that's it.

ok but i also feel like there are ways to describe your album that don't suck

and it's just day one of this, the worst possible album cycle

should say "make confronting climate change fun". she's definitely not saying that climate change is fun.

no but if you literally read it as it's written that's what it says. grimes is cancelled

I thought she was already cancelled.

cancelled

FOREVER

People don’t care about it, because we’re being guilted.

at this point I'm just happy she isn't saying it's fake

it could still be lore, though

““I see the polar bear and want to kill myself. No one wants to look at it, you know? I want to make a reason to look at it. I want to make it beautiful.” She wants the album’s iconography to include “pro-apocalypse PSAs” and a shoot in which she sits naked at a table a la The Last Supper eating bloodied corpses of endangered animals: “Like, I’m eating an elephant head.””

Crying my ass off

Musk chimes in over email, “I love c’s wild fae artistic creativity and hyper intense work ethic.”

wild fae artistic creativity

I haven't read the full interview, but just going from that quote above, I think I see what she's getting at... seems maybe similar to how, in the Cold War era, the terror of nuclear annihilation [which has hardly diminished, btw] was "processed" and represented in many different ways through movies, art, narrative, etc.?
