Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

She deleted almost all of her instagram today.

That's a great first step.

if she releases something at the end of this year (not impossible) or early next it'd still just be the normal ~3 year album cycle. the main reason it feels like longer is because she did promise new music earlier but that obviously fell through

barfff

Yeah, that's pretty bad.

i like it

I guess her ending up on a crow ost tip is maybe the least surprising thing

i like the Lakani's Juice/freak*on*ica vibe

I want a new grimes album

i'm into nu-metal poppy

Yeah i like this

This song reminds me of Scream (my least favorite track on Art Angels) redone as a mashup with Realti,

Accurate youtube comment:

Producer: "so what genre should we go for with this new project?"
Poppy: "yes"

Saw that this morning on Instagram. It reminded me to unfollow her.

jesus this human again

new song or song fragment I wonder?

her webstore is back up with new swag so i wonder if it's a new album...

apparently it's a single, "We Appreciate Power" ft. Hana

ooh la la

Apparently new album dropping in a few days?

I hope so.

and here's the confirmation for the "we appreciate power" single

Nice

Male gazey goodness!

it's true that i love power

solarcity's back, baby

i hear elon's rap on this is str8 fire

I don’t care what any of yall say, i’m excited.

Also it’s not cool to call an image she released herself “male gazey.”

Yeah I don't get that

Cousin Slappy’s path w/r/t Grimes is a strange and difficult one.

I don't get that vibe from that particular image, but "she's a female artist so it can't invite/invoke the male gaze" seems like s dubious argument

I'm just responding to the specific image.

I just think it’s weird to criticize her for “inviting the male gaze.” She would anyway as a young woman, first of all, even if she explicitly tried not to; secondly, it doesn’t seem like she is invoking any problematic/sexist tropes in this image.

Inviting the Elon gaze.

i'll be back on board if this actually turns out to be her nu-metal pivot

whatever her flaws I've certainly never thought of her as an artist who panders to a trad "male" audience in any way

For sure

Boobs and butt for everyone! Lesbians can gaze as well.

Lovely

fp’d you obviously

lmao at this comment on the gram

Sort of disturbed to find this rhetoric enter into the style. It is naive to consider that the robot overlords aren’t controlled by the same powers that we should be resisting. Appreciate power in the small places please.

Lol. If grimes is truly pro AI takeover than it looks like my politics might diverge from hers. Still stoked for the album.

Just clicked thru to the photographer's feed; there is some legit "boobs and butt" happening over there (moreso than I thought was even permitted on Insta!)

Why would you take offense to that? I don't know you at all. If you're queer as well, my bad.

Who are you addressing?

Nevermind. Grimes has nice boots.

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine Grimes's left boot in the extreme foreground of an Instagram post -- forever."

That said, I hope Grimes isn't dissected into oblivion by fans and critics alike. She's so damn likable, but even better than that she has interesting songs and you can actually dance to some of them. The ideas behind them are what stick out for me.

Yes. Guard your manic pixie/gnat.

She's a 30yo, grown woman. She is well past the point of needing help being a shitty person. Why not just go full misogny and say she's been dickmatized?
