why do you post that hack if you pretend to be taken seriously

>>73624405

Enough to be called an album. AA was also a bunch of diverse songs. e.g. Does Scream really sounds like the other AA songs?

>Mainly from the people who legitimately post here and not from the people shitposting and crashing

>>73624445
>Enough to be called an album.
wtf how can you say that if you never heard those songs

>Does Scream really sounds like the other AA songs?
it fits overall atmposhere of the AA

>>73624413
That's just your shitty opinion

>>73624474
>wtf how can you say that if you never heard those songs
Because a bunch of songs put together by an artist is an album. Even if it would be a compilation, that's still an album.

>If you never heard those songs
How can you be so sure I didn't? J/k

>it fits overall atmposhere of the AA
Not really. It's the only song on AA that seems out of place. I enjoy it, though.

>>73624504
>Because a bunch of songs put together by an artist is an album.
i have never put them together

Grimes, the project of Montreal-based singer-songwriter Claire Boucher, coined a surreal form of dance-pop on the cassette 'Geidi Primes'. Highlights are "Feyd Rautha Dark Heart", in which her soft mantra cycles around a tribal hypnotic polyrhtyhm, and the syncopated clockwork of "Vanessa", which also offers the most spectacular demo of her sensual/childish super-ethereal falsetto.

After repeating herself with less magic on 'Halfaxa', Boucher shifted gear: 'Visions' veered dangerously towards synth-pop of the 1980s, the fad of the moment: the tinkling and jumping "Genesis", the sensual and subliminal "Nightmusic", the Chinese-opera inspired "Oblivion", the syncopated ballet "Vowels = Space and Time".

Overlooking your "shitty pop music" comment for a moment, Really? From http://imgur.com/gallery/S9esf/

>FM: There seems to be a clear development from your debut album through to Visions, but how do you think you have developed in that time?
>G: "I think I'm definitely learning about songwriting. With Halfaxa and Visions I would create songs almost by accident. When I started, I literally knew nothing about music. I didn't know what a chorus was or that a verse leads into a chorus and then a second verse. My understanding was more impressionistic. It was like, yeah I'm making music but I don't really understand how it works. But by the time I got to Visions I understood that songwriting and sound design are two different things; you can spend equal time on both and the level of sound design can make a better song."

Here's the key quote:
>G: "After this album, I'm actually thinking about going back and making more formless things."

Personally I'm stoked.

I just watched the symphonia live video from the op and boy is it awful. Grimes kinda sucks, the only reason you guys like her is because she's pretty. I mean really the video is literally her pressing play on a beat, playing some really basic keyboard stuff, and singing in a mediocre fashion.

How is it evidnce of her being a talentless hack?

>>73634174
>Why?
not him but all she does is
1. play a beat
2. play some keyboard
3. sings gratingly over the top
4. looks stupid while dancing
I guess I could excuse that if the song was at least interesting, but nothing entertaining is going on.

>>73634174
Because the performance sucks! There's no passion, it's just some dumb synth pop song. I can tell she's trying to go for some "ambient" vibe but it just doesn't happen. The keyboard playing is pathetic and her singing is just not that great. Compare that to this performance:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_ul7X5js1vE
No laser light bullshit, no stupid dancing, just pure MUSIC. The band grooves insanely hard, you can tell how strong this is by watching the musicians. They're not doing some crowd pleaser bullshit, they're felling the music in their souls. Compare to grimes pressing play, plinking around on the keyboard (listen to the keyboard line in the superstition performance!), and singing in a mediocre fashion. Grimes is most definitely a talentless hack, but since she's attractive you guys idolize her likes she's some Kpop star

>>73634481
what I love most about this studio song is that Stevie played the bass line for it, great shit. Favorite based Stevie song?

>>73633922
Dude, you're a superpleb who can't understand her music. Stop saying this absolute bullshit "the only reason you guys like her is because she's pretty" because you dislike her music, you bloody idiot. Her music is NOT for you, simple as that.

You're completely dumb. How the fuck there's no passion? Did you hear that heavy ending? Did you hear her intense singing? Did you hear those massive beats?

Just because you hate synthpop it doesn't mean her synthpop songs are bad. You have shitty taste, that's all.

>Compare that to this performance: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_ul7X5js1vE
That may be entertaining to you but it's very boring to me. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not for me.

>>73634694
I find it hard to believe that you grimes fans actually enjoy this video based on the music and not grimes flipping her hair and dancing. You guys idolize her because she tries to be "different" and kooky, but she's a fledgling pop star like any other, and her music is mediocre.

I'm not even a particular fan of that recording (this is one that first made me start paying attention to Grimes in the first place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGSwtEHE1dE ) But why does you not liking that particular performance supposed to mean she's a "talentless hack"?

>>73634752
I rewarded the video. Grimes isn't a talentless hack, she has some production skill. The beat is actually pretty good. The problem is the the performance BREAKS DOWN when you realize she cannot sing or play keyboard to save her life, and symphonia as a song separate from the performance is just boring and repetitive.

>>73634722

Yes, because Grimes attempting to pass herself off in it as a 70s funk band with Stevie Wonder on vocals/piano. You're comparing apples to oranges,

>>73634777
>I find it hard to believe that you grimes fans actually enjoy this video based on the music and not grimes flipping her hair and dancing.
Dude, don't be a moron. Just in case you don't know, there's a studio version too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsbiyvpel54 No gimmicks, no image, no dancing, just pure sounds. And believe it or not, lots of people enjoy this song.

I suggest you to stop shitting your pants and actually try to get into synthpop. Learn to appreciate the synths and the beats and ONLY AFTER THAT listen and judge her music. Don't be a triggered embarrassing pleb who dislikes anything he can't understand.

Listen to a healthy dose of Kraftwerk, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Crystal Castles, The Knife and Depeche Mode and try Grimes afterwards.

>>73634919
Wrong image, meant to use one with "the point" instead of "the joke". Eh, you know what I meant anyways.

>>73634922
* isn't attempting to pass herself off...

Why are you comparing things that are nothing like each other, and then getting mad that they're nothing alike?

>>73634922
She can't sing well, can't write a song, and REALLY can't play keyboard. I guess she's a good producer, she should focus on that more.

>>73634819
It's not just me. Most critics and millions of listeners can't be wrong. Of course you can dislike her music but don't expect a validation for your shitty taste (you're actually looking for validation here - tough luck).

In comparison to who else's music? (that is the least bit similar sounding - i.e. NOT Stevie Wonder's.)

>>73634951
I was trying to make he point that the grimes video lacks passion. It comes off as bland and repetitive because symphonia is grimes singing poorly over a beat. She should have added a few chord changes and layered her voice through some effects, I can see the song working well if she did that

>>73634963
>She can't sing well, can't write a song, and REALLY can't play keyboard.
Really? Why she has a fanbase and critical acclaim if you pretend she's totally bad? Her look alone wouldn't be enough to sustain all that.

Technically she's not perfect. But guess what? Art is not about perfection, is about feelings. Her music is super melodic, relatable and emotional.

>>73634973
>most critics and millions of listeners can't be wrong
they can though
>don't expect a validation for your shitty taste

>>73634986
>thank you for your contribution
fine, for the record. it's not entertaining at all even compared to sitting at home and listening to music at my computer desk. If you're asking for a comparison to a live show, I recommend checking out some of Dinosaur Jr.'s recent live shows, they go hard.

>>73635001
That dude is ridiculous. He's complaining that a quirky alien synthpop artist doesn't sound like the good ol' Stevie Wonder. Ridiculous. It's like expecting Slayer to sound like Nick Drake.

>>73635001
Maybe a better comparison is Bizarre Love Triangle by new order. I don't like new order, but this song is a better comparison to symphonia than superstition. Imagine if BLT was just the first four bars of the song vamped with some effects and singing. It would suck because is too repetitive and samey and isn't ambient enough to really draw you in. Another decent comparison would be the always on my mind cover by the pet shop boys. This song is also kinda similar to symphonia except it's not just a beat and some effects and singing, it's a cohesive song. If grimes wanted symphonia to be ambient af and really capture you, she needed to turn the effects up to 11 and maybe get some good samples. Listen to changeling by dj shadow, the song is insanely repetitive but the ambiance makes it interesting, and it's varied enough to work.

>>73635007
Did you actually watch that video? There are lots of changes during that song, including an insane breakdown. You're not going to fool anyone that she lacks passion. Admit it you're trolling and leave.

>>73635049
he's comparing how interesting the live shows are, dumbass

>>73635124
Dude, I know and like all those songs. You claim that Symphonia IX is just a beat, some effects and some singing over it. Open your deaf ears and hear all those meticulous layers, including those backing vocals who you didn't even notice despite being almost in foreground. I guess her music is too subtle for you. You're not going to convince anyone that Symphonia IX is a bad song.

>>73635132
I sure as hell watched it, maybe she's just not getting through to me because she can't sing. I suspect a major part of the grimes appeal is because she's a "quirky alien" like the anon said above. Her image matters more than her music. For the record, from what I've listened to grimes' studio stuff is far superior to the symphonia video, but it's still not that great. She needs to gitgud at songwriting, she has some production chops already

>I was trying to make he point that the grimes video lacks passion.
Again, I am not much of a fan of that particular video (because I don't think it is all that great a perofrmance of that song.) However, to say that that is because it lacks passion is patently ridiculous. Imo the problem with that performance is that she had way TOO MUCH PASSION (see all that breathless jumping about? Not even remotely condusive to the emotional experience that song is trying to convey) for that partcular song. Again, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGSwtEHE1dE for imo an excellent performance of that song: everything starts out calm and steady, the song slowly builds, and then everything collapses into harmonic chaos with the enharmonically modulating upward bass note that suddenly pops out near the end.

>>73635190
holy shit he's talking about the live version

>>73635190
Lol dude get real I can hear the background stuff like anyone else, your posts read like you're in a cult

Well, the point of music isn't to be good at it but more to help gather in groups and therefore share resources. Being successful and bad I'll say she evolutionary succeeded. She's also very lucky she's middle-upperclass, otherwise I don't think she'll feel safe messing around with money she gets from somewhere.

>>73635222
>jumping around = passion
you can force yourself to move around to amuse a live audience, but an interesting and passionate performance that does not make.

>>73635222
Maybe the passion just doesn't get through to me because of the mediocre singing.

>>73635124

>>73635222
Your description of "what she should've done" is almost exactly what she DID in that KEXP performance. Which is why it is imo a much better performance.

>>73635275
Honestly I find they one equally bad. The problems are the same: grimes is a mediocre singer and the song is too repetitive.

>>73635203
For the record, from what I've listened to grimes' studio stuff is far superior to the symphonia video,
You should watch the KEXP performance (already linked to ITT.) Imo it is one of, if not THE best, performances of that song on record.

>>73635203
Her image doesn't matter at all when listening to her music. You're listening to sound waves, not her image. Stop impling such sexist ideas just because you know she's a pretty woman.

>she can't sing
She's primarily a producer and a songwriter and then a singer. Her singing is an acquired taste: you get it or you don't (you didn't). It's like Bob Dylan, Billy Corgan or Kurt Cobain's voices: you get them or you don't. She doesn't sing perfectly but her range (over 4 octaves), her rich timbre and the way she uses her voice makes her special. She puts a lot of passion in her singing as you can see in this live Ave Maria cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLvUejoRb4

>>73635226
>he's talking about the live version

>>73635232
>your posts read like you're in a cult
Not that anon, but the distinctive aspect of a cult is that things aren't communicated freely with outsiders. Which makes posts ITTs the OPPOSITE of cultish behavior by definition (since you don't have to be a member of anything to post.)

>>73635331

>>73635243
>the point of music isn't to be good at it but more to help gather in groups and therefore share resources.
The purpose of music is entertainment. Full stop.

>>73635328
Bob Dylan and Kurt Cobain are far better singer than grimes. I mean if you're just judging by technical skill Cobain is miles ahead. I don't but that it has the Dylan quality. Dylan comes off as authentic, grimes comes off as just bad singing. If she could sing the performance would be wayyyy better.

>>73635232
Maybe you can hear it, but you don't get it.
>>73635265
Why do you insist so much with "mediocre singing"? I bet many of your favorite artists can't sing well. You know it. Stop being such a huge hypocrite. If you enjoy e.g. Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Beefheart, Byrne or Cohen you have no right to complain about her voice.

Passionate? Yes. However - as I've already alluded to, passion and good singing tend not to go together very well.

>>73635265
>Maybe the passion just doesn't get through to me because of the mediocre singing.
Other way around desu. Uncontrolled passion gets in the way of controlled singing because man is not of two minds.

>>73635398
Because I think her lack of singing ability is a major par of what's holding down the performance

>>73635398
>Tom Waits
Tom Waits has an incredible voice, roughness in timbre =/= bad. Beefheart doesn't even try to sing in his most famous album, he more shouts out wacky poetry, so that's a poor point to make. Byrne has a goofy voice that fits the music perfectly, Lou Reed is mostly talking through some of his best songs, and Dylan is at least emotive.

>>73635395
>Dylan comes off as authentic, grimes comes off as just bad singing.
Bullshit argument. Explain why Dylan comes off as authentic and Grimes doesn't.

>Bob Dylan and Kurt Cobain are far better singer than grimes.
Give me a break. You're trolling me. How the fuck those raspy singers can even compare to the celestial beauty of her voice? Case in point:

Grimes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9XKLqGqwLA

vs

Bob Dylan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9EKqQWPjyo

>>73635296

Isn't a problem, by definition of the word mediocre (if you thought it actually was, then you would've used the word bad.)

NOt for me desu. Imo it's just right.

>>73635439
Stop finding excuses. All of those singers are mediocre at best. Grimes is superior in every way. Case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLvUejoRb4

>>73635483
>stop making excuses
you're calling people that are not listened to for their singing bad singers when that doesn't matter at all. Not to mention, none of those singers voices are actively annoying like Grimes is. And Tom Waits is actually an incredible singer, good vocal range and the roughness only adds to it. That video you shared only adds to my point, either way.

WTF, are you actually deaf? No groove when that beat makes everyone move? No emotion when she sings so emotionally? No soul when she sings lines like:
See, my wait is you
My wait is you, my wait is you
My wait is you and I won't go on

To make the pain, to feel the flame can be trying
Oh, I would say yes
Oh, I would say yes

You must be a dumb robot if you can't feel this great song.

Her pop is very weird. Compare it with Taylor Swift or Beyonce and see the huge difference. Plebs like you would never be able to even understand her music.

>>73636313

Reminder that YOU were the one who said it was your opinion. This argument works both ways, swap the artist and it's just as strong.

Getting back on topic... I was just re-reading through this interview with Grimes on her Art Angels studio setup http://imgur.com/gallery/S9esf/ and it seems to me that there are probably more hints in it as to what sort of sounds to expect from her for her NEXT album rather than Art Angels itself. E.g. there's a lot of interesting gear - like this guy https://3diosound.com/products/free-space-binaural-microphone - she mentions having gotten only at the tail end of the production process, and wanting to implement more fully in whatever she does next.

Couple that with her (relatively) recent pickup of Roli gear, and I'm VERY curious as to what her next album is gonna be like sound design-wise.

>>73638364
Yeah, I'm interested too. From everything I've heard, she's making a radical departure from Art Angels, and as a huge fan of Halfaxa and GP I think I'll love it if that's true, given that I hated AA.

>>73638383
By all rights, I should've absolutely hated Art Angels from a musical standpoint (because of my own professional musical background - VERY classical, VERY contemporary alternative.) However, to my ear, that record sounds so impeccably well done (regardless of what style/how poppy sounding the music on it is) that I can't help but enjoy it immensely -practically in spite of myself.

>>73638567
Strange. I only got into music around a year ago, so I've never had a chance to have a professional musical background (hell, I'm 18 and I'm still learning guitar), but I really like experimental and modern classical and I hope that I can do something with that. Not to derail the discussion, but how did you get into that field?

why they hide their bodies under my garaggeee

>"We were at a Grimes show, and he was like, 'I'll go get you a drink,'" Lorde says, "and sort of disappeared into another room and came back with a can of pineapple juice – which is quite a weird thing to bring someone – handed it to me, then whipped it back and rubbed the top of it and said, 'Rats crawl over them in the factories.'" In that moment, she sensed that she "had come home in the nicest possible way, to meet someone like that."

In other words, Grimes is an integral part of why Melodrama exists - for better or worse.

>Claire recently attended WWDC, which she enjoyed and looks forward to getting a computer that can one day handle the stress she puts on them, “I spend so much time editing videos and music, so I’m always crashing and destroying computers”. Which is easily understandable, as she produces, engineers, and records most of her earlier tracks herself, and directs a large portion of her own videos, which even go up for awards against veteran professionals. Her dedication to her work is something anyone can see, and it shines through within each record, each with a different variation on her synth “electro-pop” sound.

>Underneath her cool exterior is something more surprising, though. She is so easily relatable, and far away from the sort of barrier that many artists create between them and their fans. If you saw her at WWDC, you would see the flaming dog tag around her neck, which was given to her by a fan. She also runs an art page in which she features fan art and occasionally peeks of her own sketches. Instead of posting photos posed and edited, she prefers candid shots and freeze-frame moments in her life — as well as photos of her dog. Even as an accomplished musician, she still finds time to voice her thoughts on her platform, often sharing websites or pieces of information relevant the current political climate on Instagram and Twitter. She is a strong advocate for the environment, as well as a supporter for those affected by the refugee crisis in Syria and surrounding countries.

>Even more so, she is blunt and tells you what she wants you to know, not what she thinks will impress you. When asked about what she looks forward to in life, she simply replied, “Spaghetti”. She is a self-professed canned food lover, and is in love with Singapore due to their environmental regulations. Looking to the future, she’s finally getting to a place where she’s able to do what she wants to do with her music and style, “I have a budget for the first time ever, so I’m buying a sh*t ton of hardware and building a studio, and just getting to go where I want to”.

No wonder you autists are in love with her. She has that "approachable" persona going on, plus she's cute yet not crazy gorgeous, so you delude yourselves into thinking you could actually have a shot with her.

>>73644164
That's just your silly theory. Nobody in their right mind would believe they could have a shot with her. People like her mainly because of her music; anything else is just the cherry on top. Fact,

You just don't like her music anymore, pleb. Listen to something else. Problem solved.

its my most favorite music tough. in the world. its what im living for

dont you just love her

>>73644887
Tough luck to you: Claire is doing whatever she feels like she doing. On AA she wanted to make a pop album and she did it. Better focus on other artists; she's not going to repeat her older music.

This is about the same thing as when Radiohead did Kid A after OK Computer: a change of style.
