if you've been hanging out desperately for a new track from Grimes then your wait is finally over et life has meaning once more! take a listen to the wonderfully warped et dizzying, infectiously hypnotic et ethereal lead single Oblivion from Montreal-based bedroom/avant pop princess Claire Boucher aka Grimes off her highly anticipated third album "Visions" (2012).
"See you on a dark night."
Oblivion totally sounds like the opening credit music to a cult 80s teen horror film. the synths are evocative of the maestro John Carpenter! enjoy!
MP3: Oblivion
check out the wonderfully candid et effervescent, Cindi Lauper-esque music video for Oblivion. directed by Emily Kai Bock.
brace yourselves, the "Visions" album is set for release January 31st on Arbutus Records. so until then if you haven't already, i'd recommend getting yourself a copy of Grimes previous albums "Halfaxa" et "Geidi Primes" along with the "Darkbloom" split EP (2011), they are all available from Insound or Rough Trade on cd or lp!
check out my previous Grimes posts for My Sister Say The Saddest Things et Vanessa {if you haven't already}.
