Does she even play guitar?

Great band desu. Listening to Push It now.

Of course. There's guitar all over Art Angels. Not solos, but some cool and catchy riffs.

>>70861543
That's art, friendo. The good art is supposed to be unconventional.

>>70861631
Being divergent is no a marker for artistic talent when done deliberately. It's a safe call to placate the hipsters and tumblrinas who need to hear their mainstream political views sold back to them as the suppressed voice of reason.

Does anyone have anything else similar to this? I need it for research.

>>70861741
But it's not the most important thing to her...

>"To become the world's weirdest pop-star and be respected for having a strong, experimental body of work that represents something new in music and that is considered to be 'important' rather than 'popular'."

She's doesn't want fame for the sake of it, she wants respect and appreciation for her art.

>>70861793
No way. Many artists tried and most of them failed. To have an unique style, that's one of the biggest things an artist could hope to achieve. To stand out from the crowd, to not be confused with anyone else. And I believe Grimes succeeded, because let's face it, no one is like her.

>>70861844

It's not. I told you the truth. It's not my problem if you can't deal with it.

Yeah, but Grimes actually has talent. The results of her work speak for themselves. See also >>70861994

Great talent without a great image will go you nowhere. Think of every great artist, Bowie, Kate Bush, Bjork, Peter Gabriel, Prince, Elvis, Sinatra, etc. Everyone had a great image besides their music. That makes people remember them from an overcrowded music world. 2 words: be memorable!

>>70862368
She's definitely not 'anti-male' if that's what you're asking.It's about equality.

Lol.

If anything, she inspired him (for better or worse.) Notice how this interview took place in September of 2015, ie. right around the START of the 2016 presidential primary debate season and BEFORE Trump's initial assertion of dominance:
>G: So many of the artists I admire reference the aesthetics of power… The idea of a pop star is kind of replacing the idea of the religious icon or the political figure… And most of the biggest pop stars use a lot of the same tactics. It’s weird, because most of the best aesthetics are liberal.
A>: Do you think there’s a correlation between forward-looking politics and boundary-pushing creativity?
>G: You can make something that’s really aesthetically avant-garde and still be super-populist. 'Cause that’s what Genghis Khan was. That’s why I’m really interested in all these books. He had all these really complicated ideas and really over-the-top aesthetics. I mean, he also forcibly murdered hordes of combat fighters. But I think when things look powerful, it manifests. It’s often a self-fulfilling prophecy.

>>What advice do you have for young female musicians?
>I’m wary of giving advice to other musicians because the choices I make might be right for me but aren’t necessarily right for everybody—but ultimately I believe that you have to be prepared to stand by your guns and be your messy, flawed, fucked-up authentic self. It’s taken me 20 years to figure out that the best version of myself is just me. It sounds incredibly simplistic, but it’s not. I would also tell them to have something to say. Don’t just stand up there and look pretty. It’s not enough. The media will tell you that it’s enough, but being pretty means fuck all long-term. You have to be prepared to work hard, sacrifice, be competitive, and be ambitious. There are millions of people wanting to do what we do, and somehow you have to find a way to stand out. The best way to do that is to be your authentic self, because that’s what makes you unique.
>>Who do you think is doing a good job of that right now?
>The one who comes right to mind is Grimes. She, to me, is the greatest example of a new generation doing something that none of my peers did. I look at her and really believe that she’s a bona fide original. She writes and produces all of her own material. She’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s not just standing up there looking cute, or knowing the right people. There’s a lot of that right now, particularly on social media. There’s a lot of posturing and “Look at my cool lifestyle!” and “Look how beautiful I am” and “Look how outrageous I am!” And that’s all very well and good, honey, but where’s your music? Produce something. Do the work.

If you look at evolution it works exactly on this principal: everything derives from something else and what survives depends on the effectiveness of the derived trait. Equally as a society when you we tend to look at our peers that effectively deviate the most for new inspiration. I think we all have a built in sense to want to be percieved as unique, our own, exactly because of this, since from the point of view as a species it is what is needed for progress.

maybe cos i don't like the song either, fav one for now is the end of time, then fuzz, then secret
hope i can see her and grims live someday, but from some of the vids i've seen she seems pretty underwhelming live (just like grims)

>>70885579
>just like grims
Grimes is not underwhelming live. Except when she has some bad days. But generally, she's amazing. Watch this http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4k3593

>>70885681
i've seen it already, maybe it's better when you're there hearing her. she's better than before, i won't deny that

>>70885718
Everyone has their own expectations. Maybe my expectations are lower but I really enjoy her live shows. Even when there are some mistakes.

>maybe it's better when you're there hearing her
Definitely. The recordings are more unforgiving.

She's still looking younger than her age despite the fact she looked tired

>>70885718
Have seen her live in the past 8 months or so. Can't speak to what she was like as a live Performer before the Art Angels era, but as of now she is almost ridiculously better live in-person then she comes across as in most videos you see of her performing. On stage she comes across as a sheer force of nature.

I hate this girl as much as Grimes does

Claire dated my room mate when they were starting Grimes. We also jammed a few times for a project that never happened. AMA.

>>70894925
who was ur roomate

>>70895024
lol so much for that

>>70894925
What was the name of the project going to be?

roomate was dude who went on the boat
project didn't have a name, was for a one off show
the rest of us weren't so hot, so they did the show themselves, was a good choice

>>70895651
alex cowan?

>>70895651
was it towards the tail end of her days partying like hell or was it in the middle?

how far into grimes did she finally decide to stop being such a stoner?

Rate her albums.

IMO:
Geidi Primes - 8
Halfaxa - 9
Darkbloom - 8
Visions - 10
Art Angels - 9.5

>>70899628
talent has earned her a lot of money, it's measurable to it in fact

>>70899905
Good point. She earned in a year more than this >>70899628 stupid NEET will ever earn in his lifetime.

Absolutely LOVE the whole bubbleologist angle (initially assumed all the crazy visuals were the result of CGI...)

>>70862178
Art Angels wasn't trying to be weird at all. She said she wanted to make a pop album lol. The strength of her music isn't in its weirdness, it's in the lyrics, in ridiculously catchy melodies, and the production, which all fit her specific vision so well even though she approaches pop from many different standpoints on the album.

i love claire

Tbh, as cool as all the visuals are in that video (and they ARE extremely cool) imo the single most interesting thing about the whole thing is Grimes' eyes in terms of where she is looking at any given time. She does all these extremely subtle shifts in focus towards/away from the camera (especially during the more static slow-mo shots where everything else seems static) that come across in a really interesting way.

Well spotted. Grimes is really charismatic on screen, I think she could be a good actress. Regarding her stare, this quote is relevant:

G: And the fashion is amazing. I mean, in Star Wars, Natalie Portman’s character Amidala is a complete rip-off of full Mongolian. I’m really interested in reading about military leaders in general. If you can convince people to die for you, how do you do that? That’s really interesting to me. When you end up being in a position like I am, where suddenly you have the ability to manipulate large groups of people at once, it’s very stressful, so I’ve spent a lot of time researching other people in this position.

A: And what have you figured out?

G: You can’t use complex arguments. The face-value level has to be there, even in terms of how you hold yourself. I always watch videos of politicians giving speeches. They make eye contact. If you do that kind of thing, that’s the best way to grab an audience. It’s drastically changed my show. It’s made it a lot better. Feigning confidence is the number one important thing. Never express weakness. It goes badly every time. And every time I do, it’s a headline: 'Grimes Says She’s Not Good at This Thing.’ If I do a self-deprecating joke, that just translates to huge drama on the internet. There’s no way to translate that. You have to do it in the most dumbed-down possible way.

>Grimes is really charismatic on screen, I think she could be a good actress.
Looking at all the videos she's made she seems to be a good director as well. Maybe she should some day make a feature film directed by her, starring her and with a soundtrack by her. Could be interesting. There have been many directors before who made the jump from music videos to feature films (Russell Mulcahy, Mary Lambert, David Fincher, Michel Gondry, Jonas Åkerlund), so it can be done successfully.

>>70910709
Good point. I'd love to see a film directed by her.

>Venus Fly is now on youtube! i would especially recommend watching it in 4K, i coloured it (with great help from @hanatruly ) for 4K viewing so that's prob the best way to watch haha. this video really means a lot to me for many reasons. first off, i've been a huge fan of janelle monaé since she debuted. i've always admired her genre bending, ground breaking art, sonically and visually. Collaborating with her was a dream come true, and i learned so much about songwriting and directing from her. furthermore, im on an independent label so i've never come close to having access to the kind of equipment/resources we had here(thank u Tidal!!!). i put my whole heart and soul into this project; conceptualized, directed, edited, coloured and post-prod, nearly destroying my computer in the process lol. I hope y'all can feel the love and i hope this video takes u to a trippy alternate dimension where giant humanoid eva's play w bubbles made of what i imagine the christofilos effect looks like ( trapped charged particles along magnetic lines of force ). it is most assuredly not a realistic depiction, it's just a vision i've had in my mind for a while since i began studying the cold war earlier this year. thanks so much u guys for caring about our art Link in bio!

Grimes is truly one of the best artists ever. She cares so much about her art.

>>70911816

>
>The Christofilos Effect refers to the entrapment of charged particles along magnetic lines of force that was first predicted in 1957 by Nicholas Christofilos. Christofilos suggested the effect had defensive potential in a nuclear war, with so many beta particles (electrons) becoming trapped that warheads flying through the region would see electrical currents so great that their trigger electronics would be damaged. The concept that a few friendly warheads could disrupt an enemy attack was so promising that a series of new nuclear tests was rushed into the schedule before a testing moratorium came into effect in late 1958. These tests demonstrated that the effect was not nearly as strong as predicted, and not enough to damage a warhead. However, the effect is strong enough to be used to black out radars and disable satellites.
