Hell yes.

damn

video conceived as and destined to become an endless series of gifs. the second track feels like a bit of a throwaway, but so far I'm down.

Hmm, I'm not too psyched that she went with that clichéd pop song chord progression/structure.

that strategy worked well on Realiti

Realiti was so sonically engrossing though

first time i listened to this i wasn't partic compelled but for some reason on the second go around i was

flesh without blood sounds like an annie track

REALITI IS ON ART ANGELS Y'ALL (the CD and digital versions at least)

i was looking closely at the vinyl packing and i don't see 'realiti' there...might have to get both if it's on one and not the other

Grimes does Annie is just about everything I've ever wanted. My assumption is that the rest of the album won't be that at all, which I'm also psyched about.

I also experienced this calibration

first song of hers where all of the lyrics are all clearly distinguishable? screams aside i mean
need a gif of the badminton racquet dancing hippie

good song

let's not talk about chord progressions

ok well 'reality' isn't on the vinyl afaict, based on this link:

realiti

legit lead single, go Grimes!

the realiti on the album is different than the demo version

both are on the cd, though

(and neither on the lp, as nomar said)

good song terrible video

:D

im excited for this album, i've heard it's great

let's not talk about chord progressions

booo

This is great, still not paying £30+ for a balcony seat to see her though. My own fault for snoozing and not getting standing tickets :-/

I like it, but part of me kind of wishes there for there to be a ripping a guitar solo in there, but I guess this is what you get with an artist who hasn't had as much experience with a guitar before.

way 2 make grimes sound like a 5 yr old

i think we can all agree that every song would be better with a ripping guitar solo in it

4AD says: out digitally November 6, Janelle Monae is on it

v bummed if no realiti on the lp but there are typos in the 4ad thing so knows

I'm still missing the Claire Hamill x Richard D. James quality I so admired about the less poppy parts of Visions.

IDK, something a little basic about those two tracks, like it has more than hints of the swedish pop machine. Still has some good grimesian touches and not bad overall. Looking forward to hearing the rest.

I for one am shocked and disappointed the qualities that Grimes explored on Visions' non-singles are not as present on the first single for her new album.

oh claire hamill is so great
i never thought of her in relation to grimes

every stray industrial percussive sound on this is a blessing

yeah not thrilled, we already have good synthy pop out there, do we need another one? didn't listen to the second song.

flesh without blood isn't as good as realiti but it's still quite nice, love that she's taken the feel of the percussion from realiti further.

don't really care for life in the vivid dream but i guess it'll probably fit as more of an interlude in the album.

https://youtu.be/svT2miDOc4M very disappointed she's confirmed that this isn't on the album

hum. disappointing first single...
I hope the rest of the album is more inspired.

Everything about this "era" has been brilliant so far. Great songs, hilarious cover, Grimes wearing wings and clutching a bloody dress.

lol, yesterday I was thinking "weird, I already can't remember how it goes, not very catchy at all" and then suddenly just now it popped out of my brain again like Alien.

new song is great

this pops into my head unexpectadly

love this, just as addictive as realiti

growing on me fast

get not wanting her to be this straightforwardly pop all the time but have watched this like a dozen times today
