huh i don't think most ppl would associate grimes quickly with carnality, would they? - & the song's about wondering when she's gonna stop being afraid of men as a result of an assault. maybe you're coming from the video "going into this masculine world that is associated with sexual assault, but presented as something really welcoming and nice" in her words. she's selling broadband with this track in ireland non-stop for the last two years -- it's like the theme song for a major service provider -- go figure.

carnal's the wrong word. i think boxedjoy meant to say "coolness".
― Treeship, Thursday, 29 August 2013 02:17 (ten years ago) link
carnality is kind of your own thing, not stuck connected to others, though? I get a little bit of body freedom off of Grimes' music.
― mh, Thursday, 29 August 2013 05:33 (ten years ago) link
It get a carnal feeling. Which is cool.
I had never realised it was about assault! Just about everything on Visions has mostly indecipherable lyrics to my ears, aside from fragments here and there. I've always found her vocal style very sensuous.

odd, cuz i've always heard it as disembodied, almost anti-physical

I was thinking it's been a very long time since her album was released. and no new music since then ?
I don't know why but I thought she would be the kind of artist who releases new tracks every now and then, spontaneously, online or else.
― AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 28 October 2013 11:45 (ten years ago) link
she's been tweeting regularly about how she's been working on the album. said she's aiming for Q2 2014 iirc. i'd say it's taking so long because she's been touring pretty relentlessly.
― monotony, Monday, 28 October 2013 13:11 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, every picture she posts is like "this is what bathtubs look like in Singapore" or "picture of me meeting this artist at yet another festival" or "check out my goofy tour rider".
― how's life, Monday, 28 October 2013 13:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah, I thought the touring/enjoying notoriety aspect might be key.but still, nowadays, even on tour, I suppose it must be easy to make/record music, especiallly the way she seems to be working.
― AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 28 October 2013 13:21 (ten years ago) link
it's not like she needs to be in a studio with a producer, band, engineers, etc.
― AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 28 October 2013 13:22 (ten years ago) link
maybe she doesn't spend any time at all on music, maybe she just fucks around on tumblr for hours on end until she passes out
