Kids these days, learnin' about all the great bands of the bygone aughts

I can never tell if she is trolling or like completely serious

i think both of those things are true

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.

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.

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".

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.

it's not like she needs to be in a studio with a producer, band, engineers, etc.

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

ahah. maybe !

Thk u grimes for introducing me to "I luh you papi"

http://pitchfork.com/news/55446-grimes-says-she-wrote-a-song-for-rihanna-that-got-turned-down/

cool story bouch

I wrote a song for Rihanna too, got turned down tho, wanna hear it

re-recorder the visions songs ??
what the !?

tbh I'm intrigued. Some of the songs on Visions were cool but missing something.

hum. I can't see how this could be any good... reminds me of the thread about re-recorded albums (that are always shitty).
anyway, looking forward to the new album !

seems like she only re-recorded the tracks for her live show, not for release? makes sense, i'm sure she feels like she can make them sound a lot better now.

That's what I was thinking. Bedroom recordings sounding different at pitchfork fest or whatever. Haven't seen her live though, so I don't know.

I love the percussion in this (and the bass is cool too), like how she's using handclaps where hi hats would be, and the cool metallic kling klang stuff at the end! Grimes is so awesome!

oh wow.

how she's using handclaps where hi hats would be

has been done in that exact way on 50 million popular songs in the past 3 years fyi

lol at the avalanche of fan comments on there hating the EDM breakdown

uh it's decent i guess (not really, kinda boring actually) but if i didn't know it was grimes i don't think i would have given it even one full listen
