Grimes is so fucking cute and sweet. I'd treat her to some fancy restaurant, than take a long romantic walk with her, holding hands and talking about philosophy, art and dreams. Then I'd invite her to my home and ravage her hot ass for hours, and forcing my cock up her throat so she chocked on both the throbbing cock and her own rectal juice. I'd then proceed to cum on her cute innocent face. Then. as the ultimate love gift, I'd carry her in my arms to the tub and let my piss wash away the semen and last dignity from her. I'd wisper "I love you" and give her a tender smile, and cut her throat from ear to ear with a knife. Covered in her own warm blood, she'd look straight into my very soul, forgiving, understanding. A bubble from blood and saliva would burst between her lips, then she'd die. After some additional lovemaking, I'd stuff her into a bin bag. Three weeks later, some playing children will find her mutilated and desecrated body in the forest.

They will be scarred for life.

If the language of music is merely the utterance of a melodic line, a simple sequence of musical notes, it can justly be accused of poverty. The addition of a Bass puts it upon a harmonic foundation and clarifies it, but defines rather than gives it added richness. A melody so accompanied—even though all the notes are not those of the true Bass—or treated with simple embellishments in the upper parts, or with simple chords, used to be called “homophony.” But it is a very different thing when two melodies are so interwoven that they converse together like two persons upon a footing of pleasant equality. In the first case the accompaniment is subordinate, and serves merely to support the first or principal part. In the second case the two parts are not similarly related. New melodic combinations spring from their interweaving, out of which new forms of musical expression emerge. If more parts are interwoven in the same free and independent manner, the apparatus of language is correspondingly enlarged, and becomes practically inexhaustible if, in addition, varieties of form and rhythm are introduced. Hence harmony becomes no longer a mere accompaniment of melody, but rather a potent agency for augmenting the richness and expressiveness of musical conversation. To serve that end a simple accompaniment will not suffice. True harmony is the interweaving of several melodies, which emerge now in the upper, now in the middle, and now in the lower parts.

From around 2009, when she was twenty-one, Grime's harmony consists in this melodic interweaving of independent melodies, so perfect in their union that each part seems to constitute the true melody. Herein Claire excels all the composers in the world. At least, I have found no one to equal her in music known to me. Even in his four-part writing we can, not infrequently, leave out the upper and lower parts and still find the middle parts melodious and agreeable.

Does anyone know what equipment she used in her early days?

would switch visions and realiti and then it's perfect

Agree?

>I don't understand the comments that act like it's some extreme, poppy divergence from her previous work... to me it's a very natural progression from Visions, which I would argue is overall just as pop as Art Angels; alternatively I'd say Art Angels is just as weird as Visions. Tracks like "Easily" and "Laughing and Not Being Normal" sound like they could be better-produced revisions of Geidi Primes songs.

>Honestly I think a lot of people's disappointment with this album comes because they project so much onto Grimes to the point that it's just insulting and trivialises the sincere work and emotion she puts into her art. I feel like a lot of people really want her to be this mystical fairy or something, but in reality she just creates what she loves indiscriminately without caring about what's arty/commercial or highbrow/lowbrow. Her earlier music sounded the way it did because she was still learning to produce in GarageBand, not because she's a quirky post-ironic lo-fi art girl. She has always been open about loving pop music. I feel like now she's finally making the music she really always wanted to make, and it's awesome.

>>69779338
A true fan

Another quote:

Musically I don't have an album in my library as pop as this, and though I found that at first it seemed obnoxiously accessible, in hindsight it reflects as ridiculously and subtly unpredictable. I find that at least some aspect of every song is intriguingly unique but oddly fucking familiar. Catchy harmony underlies wonky rhythm following consistently bizarre melody each in a way that is distinctly her, and I personally think this sort of genuine feel is valuable to the point of being a necessary requirement of a top tier album. There, I said it.

As an example, let me tell you about the album's final track "Butterfly": it is astonishing. It starts innocently, almost laughably, a stringed something plucks funnily, descending in celebration as some african ass wind picks up to blow along for the ride. Suddenly, jarringly, it turns into this beast of a dance club head bob, abandoning any resemblance to anything acoustic or related to the intro at all. She delivers saddish lyrics with the motherfucking catchiest matter-of-fact flow for the remainder of the verse, swollen on by a killer fat ass bass establishing a whiplash backdrop by fading in so fucking brilliantly on the beat. The escapist verse evolves into a confessional prechorus by returning unexpectedly to that discomforting intro.

You think "Where's the overlap between the two pieces, though? I find this disagreeable. Where's the harmony?"

And in a Godly way she brings the two seemingly irreconcilable pieces together: the odd bubbly string intro and the morose dance banger verse do resolve.

But actually, don't worry about that.

"Why are you looking for a harmony? There is harmony in everything."

When you look for it, at best you'll be surprised to find where it is. At worst you'll end up missing it, and you'll end up missing Grimes.

I think she joked about that break. I suggest you to read a more recent interview: http://vmagazine.com/article/v104-grimes-interview/

>As she closes the door on this album, Boucher has a calmer project in mind for the next: “I’m really vibing on making something really slow and gorgeous that just breathes, and has room to breathe. I feel like my work has always been fast paced, kinetic, and almost just manic and I feel like for me the hardest thing I can do is make something that’s slow and heavy. I’m so ADD in my work; I really want to push myself into something that would be slower and more reflective.”

Maybe she will change her mind, but at least she has a new project.

Her music is a grower. Also it depends on your music taste. You said you liked her song Realiti: check her previous album, Visions. Listen to it until you get into it. It's a very rewarding listen.

Granted, this is from several years ago. All reports suggest that she's on MUCH BETTER terms with her family (specifically her parents) now that she's actually making something of herself. She's even openly admitted to having been an absolutely insufferable person as an adolescent, so it's not like anything I'm saying here goes any farther towards painting her as a less-than-perfect person than what she has already established about herself. I have very few doubts that even Claire Boucher herself wouldn't be inclined to disagree that her decision to make Grimes was probably the first good decision she ever made.

How do i start listening to her?

>>69793914
With your ears.

Also, this chart >>69783738 might help.

>>69793914
search on youtube "grimes" and click on any of her videos.

make sure your computer can play sound and your volume is at a listenable level.

>If Grimes' single, "Kill V. Maim," reminds you of Harley Quinn, it's no accident. ("Like with [this song, it has] a Harley Quinn kind of vibe —this Joker-y, scary demon chorus," the pop star has previously said.)
>Perhaps that's why the music video, directed by Grimes (nee Claire Boucher) and brother Mac Boucher, feels just as intense, colorful and over-the-top as the DC Comics villian. (Think a Versace sweater paired with feathered wings, pink boxing gloves and ski goggles.)

>Grimes’s self-directed video for Kill V Maim was also an end-of-days imagining. Set in an abandoned city, it shows the last surviving humans as a gang of cyber-goth warriors. She and her Sin City via manga cartoon-inspired friends wreck havoc in underground train stations and clubs.

It's called bandwidth optimization. Purists can talk about their FLACs (my personal fave) and their "lossless" streaming formats all they want. The fact remains that the vast majority of listeners are gonna end up hearing an MP3 equivalent. And the better sound producers are gonna take that directly into account.
It's the exact same story as what goes on in professional photo editing and color spaces. sRGB is clearly technically inferior to Adobe RGB. However the former is the only one the vast majority of viewers are gonna be able to successfully see.

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions in the music community regarding the differences between 320kbps mp3 and FLAC format. It is true that 320kbps is technically as good as FLAC, but there are other reasons to get music in a lossless format.

Hearing the difference now isn’t the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is ‘lossy’. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA – it’s about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don’t want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.

I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Fucking Grimesth

>>69801758
Not too sure about there being any direct Madonna musical influence on Grimes, but there are certainly Madonna-related lyrical references to be found. Eg. the track Venus Fly (which happens to be a vocalist team-up song) features the phrase "me against the music" [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clwLKJ294u4 ] as part of the pre-chorus refrain.

It's gonna be very interesting to see what the impending Venus Fly video turns out to be like. Imo it's most likely gonna be her most mainstream successful (ie. viral) video yet, since it's gonna pull in the Monáe crowd as well.

Grimes is going to move to Russia because she loves the country.

>>69802610
proof?

>>69802610
She loves the Russian culture but I doubt she will move to a country run by oligarchs / Putin.

>>69803710
Honestly, I like the beats and the music, it's just her singing. A lot of the time I just can't listen to it, the best example being Kill V. Maim where she does her best impression of a cheerleader.
My favorite album is Halfaxa though, and I honestly prefer when I can't understand what she's saying. Art Angels is just way, way too late 2000s pop for me.

>>69803732
Aren't Russians big patriots?

>>69803562
Because Grimes loves Russia.

>>69803819
Why would that mean they only listen to Russian music. A lot of us listen to your typical /mu/ or p4kcore

>>69803804
>it's just her singing
Her singing is an acquired taste. I hated it at first but it grew on me. Now, I can't imagine her music without her voice. You just have to get used to all her singing styles.
