gr8080 back me up on this, there are some cuts on art angels that give me total balearic vibes. i was driving through l.a. on a recent sun kissed day and listening to this and it hit me.

wasn't there a Janet Jackson video kind of like this from early 2000s? i seem to remember her in a cyberpunk cgi wonderland that reminded me of this...

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 15:02 (eight years ago) link

this is def my favorite grimes song now

"california" has been in my head for days. i'm another listener that didn't like visions but love everything about art angels.

Mordy, Friday, 22 January 2016 20:24 (eight years ago) link

Yeah can I get a late pass on California please? Undeniable.

RA the Rugged Advisor (Mr Andy M), Sunday, 24 January 2016 19:55 (eight years ago) link

i think that song may blow up

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 24 January 2016 20:01 (eight years ago) link

It's probably my favorite from the album as well.

Frederik B, Sunday, 24 January 2016 20:03 (eight years ago) link

thanks for hooking me up with Realiti you guys, didn't like it the first time around but it stuck after sufficiently many tries.

I can.

I am generally not a fan of millennials with synthesizers, I am old and rockist. But I absolutely love this record.

kornrulez6969, Monday, 25 January 2016 23:27 (eight years ago) link

that's a great 5 tbh, i mean i don't like all of those albums but it's a great 5

Regarding the KillVMaim video: I like the outfits and the videogame references but Claire and her brother should let someone else do the directing and editing of the videos. I can see the potential but it looks very tacky, the whole thing is sort of messy, some cuts going on for too long, some are too short, lips don't sync with the song... it doesn't match the energy of the song at all.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 4 February 2016 00:50 (eight years ago) link

I loved the video for Realiti mind you and they did that one too, but this one clearly required someone with more time and experience.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 4 February 2016 00:51 (eight years ago) link

i gotta agree with ya there. i'd allow a lot of leeway for amateurish charm, but its flaws aren't really charming, just feels off

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 4 February 2016 00:52 (eight years ago) link

Exactly what I thought too watching it. This song is so fast, but the video kind of drags.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 4 February 2016 00:57 (eight years ago) link

lol of course aenima is on there. awesome

HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 February 2016 01:00 (eight years ago) link

Video feels like fiftysomething dude's idea of what the young folk like. Tune is great though.

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 4 February 2016 08:16 (eight years ago) link

She should have done a twenty something version of what the old folks like

Karl Malone, Thursday, 4 February 2016 12:56 (eight years ago) link

eheh. what do 50smthg people like ?
good restaurants, week-ends in the country, opera... (I'm closer to 50 than to 20 !)

AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 4 February 2016 13:11 (eight years ago) link

She should have done an Adele album?

MarkoP, Thursday, 4 February 2016 13:35 (eight years ago) link

I saw her live last night! She still doesn't know all the words to "Butterfly" yet and had a lyric sheet in her hand as an aide. Ave Maria cover was pretty ~wut~, but it kind of worked. The last time I saw her was 2012 and she barely spoke and was this intense figure darting between all her gear like she was frantically operating the motherboard of a spaceship. Now she spends a lot more time out front dancing and getting down, which suits her.

A lot of favourites from the new album were paid dust (no "World Princess pt II" or "Artangels") but "Kill V. Maim" was a riot.

ahah, following your comment I have checked and Adele and Grimes are the same age : class 88 !

AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 4 February 2016 13:47 (eight years ago) link

i'm sure that both are pretty happy with where they're at right now

Karl Malone, Thursday, 4 February 2016 14:07 (eight years ago) link

It may me feel really old when she wrote about hearing "Fever to Tell" as some kind of formative listening experience. It seems like that just came out yesterday.

uh this is amazing (this is the dude from Mindless Self Indulgence apparently?)

yeah, that's awesome. definitely the song the video wants it to be. love the fake scratching at the end, so perfect.

Stupid sensationalist headline made me think she had died.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 07:28 (eight years ago) link

That's one of my pet peeves. Glad she hasn't been electrocuted. When it comes to onstage electrocutions, I mostly just think of the guy from Stone the Crows back in the 70s, but there was a singer who got killed just a few years ago in Argentina.

how's life, Wednesday, 16 March 2016 09:56 (eight years ago) link

i've gotten electrocuted before while playing a show but usually that's cos it's in a crappy basement or otherwise makeshift venue w no grounding, not a real venue, that is bs.

surprised artangels didn't become the best selling album of all time or something.

Treeship, Sunday, 17 April 2016 18:48 (eight years ago) link

kill v maim is way better than i originally realized

Treeship, Thursday, 21 April 2016 04:48 (eight years ago) link

her ave maria is so gd

She did good, it's all that matters. Sure this could have, should have be more important than say, Taylor Swift in an ideal universe but she did good.
