My face when I discovered GRIMES two days ago

>>71404535
Hi! you really seem to be butthurt that GRIMES got a new fan. This is the first thread I've opened on her, I've only been responding to others until now. Get fucked.

>>71404478
never too late, anon!
also check out her best song:

Thanks Anon. What's the deal with this shit >>71404535?
Are these record industry people and producers who are shook that Grimes is breaking through their mountain of bullshit? Kinda seems that way.

>>71404719
it's a report link! the report tab comes with a link :^)

>>71404478
Grimes is amazing. She will be a legend. Screencap this.

>>71404948
I know what it is Anon, ty anyway. I was asking more about what would motivate someone to post something like that? What would someone have to gain by shutting down a Grimes thread? I think the Beatles are dated and useless, but I don't need to raid that thread to tell them that, because if they're enjoying it all the power to them. I can choose to stay the fuck out of it.
Why are people so scared of Grimes? It comes across as really pathetic.

>>71404612
To be a Grimes fan is pretty hard on /mu/. You have to battle all those pesky haters. Or simply ignore them.

>>71404653
What about Oblivion? That's usually considered her best song. But the secret best Grimes song is either Be a Body or Symphonia IX.

>>71405092
>Why are people so scared of Grimes?
Envy and the fact she's considered a SJW.

>>71404478
huh, i guess i was too harsh. sounds pretty nice, good pop music, really hate her music videos, especially genesis.

Welcome to the party OP!

>>71405379
With such a shitty tripcode it's no wonder that good pop music is too much for you.

>>71404719
>>71405092
Wouldn't surprise me in the least. What she is doing (producing industry-level art using thoroughly indie-level means) pretty much spells the death knell of an entire multi-billion dollar industry. Whether industry types happen to love/like her music or not, the fact remains that very few people take kindly to being rendered obsolete. And I'm sure that at least a small portion of that industry tension manifests even here on /mu.

>What would someone have to gain by shutting down a Grimes thread?
Also, never forget how perfect of a target focused discussions (like what's typically found in Grimes threads) pose to trolls simply out there hunting for (you)s. Case in point - what this guy's post >>71404535 is in direct violation of at least two official 4chan posting rules, and it's only a matter of time before his post itself "disappears" (assuming it hasn't already by the time I hit "Post".) There is no way he doesn't already know that - hence he is being completely disingenuous.

>>71404719
Some people are just jealous that their favourite artist is not discussed here as much as Grimes. Just ignore those kids.

Halfaxa is more like a weirder Visions. The step between Geidi Primes and Halfaxa was pretty big even if both albums were released in the same year. Listen to it asap, at least the first (more normal) half (from Outer to Dream Fortress - including it).

I need money. How do I get hired by the Grimes shill team? Where do I apply. I can pretend to like her derivative talentless garbage too.

I just gotta chime in here as well... PERSONALLY I cannot wrap my head around how fantastic she is, as a person, an imagine of beauty, and for her outstanding ear and vision.

She's breaking apart the very landscape of Popular Music and reshaping it into her image, which is refreshing.

I'm happy to be alive in the times of Grimes.

>>71413171
>Grimes's only redeeming factor is her production which carries her mediocre voice. Her lyrics are shallow and do nothing to progress pop music unlike actual talent such as bjork or joanna
bollocks. her voice is truly amazing if you get into it (it's an acquired taste). also don't call her voice mediocre if you enjoy the atrocious voice of joanna newsom. her lyrics are subjective, if you dislike them, fine.

you forgot about the most important things in her music: songwriting and arrangements. her production, songwriting and arrangements blow bjork or joanna out of the water.

even joanna was impressed:
>Interviewer: What young artists do you feel an affinity with? I heard you're a Kendrick fan.
>Joanna Newsom: I loved the latest Bjork album, I'm excited about the idea of Grimes. I haven't wrapped my head around the record. I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her. I met her in LA a few months ago, she told me something along the lines of, "I grew up listening to your music". I will say, it made me feel really old for about five minutes, then it made me feel really happy. I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great.
https://i-d.vice.com/en_au/article/life-after-whimsy-joanna-newsom-is-no-ethereal-creature

>>71413487

you're understimating her voice. it's really an acquired taste. i wouldn't expect a newcomer to her music to like this kind of singing (which reminds me of enya mixed with liz fraser) right away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy3FPRaeW3Y

some anon said her voice is Soprano Acuto Sfogato which is probably the rarest kind in pop music:
>Btw, in terms of Grimes' capacities as a vocalist, she is a prime example of what is known in old-school classical singing circles as a Soprano Acuto Sfogato - literally a soprano who is able to sing without any constraints. http://www.divalegacy.com/php/main_pages.php?CategoryID=3&AuthorID=3&ID=18

>good lord. lets see grimes do anything like medulla or ys.
she could do that. speaking of medulla, bjork stole that idea from claire hamill (also one of grimes' fave artists). listen to her album voices.

as for ys, it's just an overlong boring dull album. it's the indie equivalent of tales of the topographic oceans. and don't get me started on her annoying voice.

>This isnt a surprise, joanna has notoriously awful music taste.

>>71413611

it means she was really surprised by her music. read later in that text:

listen to that album. you will understand it immediately that bjork stole that idea for medulla (the entire album based on the human voice) from claire hamill.

it's the concept, dummy. bjork was clearly inspired by it. sorry to burst your little bubble, but medulla isn't as unique as you thought...

>not knowing how much time grimes spend painstakingly polishing her songs...
just say it you don't like it, don't use this convoluted logic to disparage her music.

bjork didnt invent acapella , and nether did she. But medulla was a far better execution

>>71414438
>completely missing the point
it's not about acappella. it's about using the voice for more than singing. claire hamill - voices > bjork - medulla. listen to the rest of voices, you might be surprised.

>>71414747
Stop.

>>71414850
Try Visions. It's the closest thing to AA. I have a feeling you will love it (it's my fave Grimey album). I'm waiting for your report after listening to it (assuming you will listen to it).

does grimes use Moog? or Modular synths?

>>71414155
>>71414256
Also from the same album. The ONLY instrument ever heard here is Claire Hamill's voice (e.g. there are no drums):

>>71414931
no. most of her music is made in ableton live through vsts, a roland gaia and a roland sp-404 sx sampler. this is her gear: http://equipboard.com/pros/grimes

she's not a synth fetishist, she just wants to have the shit done.

>>71414989
Great. Visions is 10/10 IMO after many listens.

>>71414619

>When I put out “Vanessa” in Montreal, I remember someone wrote an op-ed in the Montreal Gazette called, “Grimes makes car commercial music.” It’s always happened. I think I’m stuck between an experimental scene and a pop scene. Everyone is always mad when I give lip service to one or the other. If I make stuff that’s too weird, people complain. Then if I make stuff that’s too pop, other people complain.

Cool. Probably it will grow on you even more after some listens. Try Halfaxa too.

>>71416187
are there any songs in halfaxa that are like circumambient, simphonia, skin, know the way, those are the current favs of visions.
But yeah, sounds like a grower, will probably listen it again today.

>>71416276
The more you'll listen to it the more you will like it (at least in theory). Her music is really a grower.

You read my post wrong - any musical artist/fan following capable of getting under the skin of /mu's troll population so thoroughly deserves to be applauded.

As to your wider question (why does Grimes attract such crazy levels of controversy (despite her being far from the most extreme artist in any identifiable way making music right now) imo it all goes back to her level of skill as an artist and the particular type of art she creates.

The reason why Grimes tends to get so much vitriol directed her way by her detractors (especially online) is because she excels at making subversive art. Nearly every aspect of her visual art or music that you can name is pretty easily traceable to an obvious source of inspiration (as long as you know where to look.) However the specific purposes to which she puts things are almost always significantly different from those found in her sources.

This means that - for the vast majority of people who are at least passingly tolerant of subversive art - consuming her art leads to seeing/experiencing already known things in an unfamiliar light, which in turn leads to a literally mind-expanding experience. It's disturbing to them, but in a fun, enjoyable way.

However, on the flip-side, this means that - for the relatively small group of people out there who lack any sort of tolerance for subversive art - consuming her art leads to seeing/experiencing already known things in an unfamiliar light, which in turn leads to a profound sense of confusion and insecurity. It's disturbing to them too, but in a thoroughly unpleasant way. And we all know what people who are feeling insecure about themselves have a tendency to do - especially in situations (such as ITTs) where they are surrounded by people who are feeling good about themselves because of the very same thing causing their insecurity: they lash out.

i'm listening to Oblivion and it really isn't as great as you all claim to be. Does it get better?

people who think that they can accuratley gauge someones psychiatric profile based on some internet posts are suffering from delusional grandeur, some alternate reality where they're actually smart

>>71429095
its not hard, most people don't know how to fake a smile properly.

there are more muscles involved in the smile reflex than just drawing your cheeks back. the eyelids close and the muscles to the sides of the eyes retract forming crows feet.

now you too have the knowledge to spot poorly faked smiles.

The competition probably isn’t that crazy. Most people are too scared to even try.

I mean, it's not even debateable, just from the simple execution of it. she fakes smiles all the time dude. if she was deadfaced all the time she wouldn't have gotten this far in her career and certainly wouldn't have an internet cult centered around her.

Because you're not leaving room for possibilty, you just keep saying that shit as a fact. Do you know better than her if she faked a smile? If not, shut up.

I can't listen to Grimes or appreciate her music because someone posted a gif on 4chan of her throwing a weird smile...I can't give her a chance now. Did you see that gif????! What did she mean by that?!?!?!?!

HAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA FUCK!!!
Heters gonna hate...

Saying shit about Grimes is not allowed. There's a clear rule: be nice to Grimes.

>>71429495
nice meltdown.

>>71429540
she seems cool

>>71429551
Thanks. I couldn't even spell haters I was laughing so hard.

im not being mean, though. i made an observation and you and that other nerd freaked the hell out because you think I'm trying to throw shade?

you must be delusional if you think she doesn't project a public persona that's removed from herself. faking smiles is the tip of the iceberg she does to keep her image friendly and happy. one of the reasons that she's so successful is because she's good at creating a palatable public image. that includes faking personability regardless if she's feeling it or not. like I said earlier, if she was deadfaced all the time with a blank expression (eg: >>71405375 >>71405623 >>71405834 >>71408627) her image would be vastly different and probably not as successful. she's gone in depth on how who she is as a person and the persona she fronts differ multiple times in interviews. you just want to ignore it for some stupid, impossible faery goddess ideal that doesn't exist.

take a chill pill.

>implying she's not authentic
That's the biggest insult you could say about her.

genuine is the right word

i guarantee you she's more bothered by obsessive stans who hold her to an impossible standard than she is by people who recognize she's not the dalai lama

>>71429956
You can guarantee nothing.

>>71429996
