ITT: Post & discuss Grimes and Her music
>>60657914
She makes mediocre music. Listen to decent Pop music. Nasal hyper-reverb fairy vocals over a weak ass mono synth modulation of I-iv with a 4/4 bass-kick beat is just shitty music.
or we could not

Did you even listen to her last album? She really grew as a producer.

I love the new album. Every track is a magical journey into the world of Grimes.
>>60658078
Why would I? The singles were bad and that album was boring as Hell and she's a pretty intolerable human that I don't want to give any more of my time.
>>60658125
>into the world of Grimes
So about as deep as a kiddie pool?
>>60658137
>Why would I?
>>60658125
>>60657914
Well I finally listened to Art Angels today. I'd love to support her in her endeavors but I, as usual, with her was underwhelmed.
I'm going to go listen to Xeno & Oaklander. They know how to do it right.
>>60658137
double on this
>>60658155
Did you miss on everything else there? The last album was just as hyped this new and as I said, THE SINGLES ON THIS POP ALBUM SUCKED!
>>60658137
Because all the songs are pretty different and if you look into discussions, you'll see that anons are listing different tracks as their favourites.
>>60657914
Her new album sucked. If growing as a producer means sounding like every other fucking thing out there, then sure. There's no growth or experimentation.
>>60658078
the only thing that grew was her moustache senpai
>>60658194
1. They didn't suck.
2. They are very far from being the best songs on the album.
>>60658235
if you don't hear the progress, then you are absolutely deaf
>>60658223
Her new album is just as good as Visions. I don't know how some can like Visions and dislike Art Angels, they were basically the same as except on Art Angels Grimes focus more on lyrics thus her vocals weren't distorted in a typical dream pop style.
what songs have her best lisp?
>>60658274
pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
they are so fucking different haha

Maybe, and stick with me here, if I want to listen to Madonna, I'll just listen the real one.
>For a long time I had this theory: the impossibility of a female Kurt Cobain. What he represents, leaning against the system and yet supported by consumers, there was no woman in the world that could command the masses so utterly. The music industry, the male-biased music consuming populace wouldn't let her. This thing I've been stewing about since I saw Grimes play to 20 people in 2011, and started reading her Tumblr, and then really starting feeling when "Oblivion" came out, is that Claire is the closest thing we have to a female Kurt Cobain, smart enough to understand the system but righteous enough to wall-jump away from it. But also, interestingly, what an inversion her approach is to Kurt's. His pose was anti-establishment, her pose is post-structural. He was rigorous, she is always looking outward, game for genre-experimentation and hilarity. I feel like even if I don't like her music, and I do so far, I will always feel like she's several steps ahead of me, several books ahead of me, and that makes me feel really fucking good. Anyone who gives her grief about anything can kick rocks.

>>60658290
nice argument
>>60658285
nightmusic is the first one that comes to mind
>>60658315
Madonna is so inferior comparing to Grimes. She ain't even produce her shit.
>>60658347
Ignorant underage there, MODS
>>60658383
prove me wrong then
>>60658309
i didnt hear a lisp.

Grimes is like that adorable kitten you see in one gif and wish you had it but never goes out actually attain one. She's that ordinary cute chick you cross paths sometimes.
https://streamable.com/ez3h
Pin is one of my favorites off the new album. I don't know what its 'supposed' to be about but I like to imagine its a story of a young lovesick faery chasing after a human and trying to bring him into her world. I wish I could be that human...
her music is juvenile and she seems stupid.
basicly a lol-junkie without any depth.
>>60658137
>>60658155
>I can tell that people are good are good in the end, but why, why would I?
>>60658063
be nice to grimsey
>>60658679
she is definitely smarter than everyone itt
>>60658739
I agree, but is it really fair to compare the intelligence of a cosmic being to that of mere humans?
>>60658790
not really, she is too superior
>>60658790
>>60658843
jesus christ, just because she can grow a stache doesnt mean she's some kind of a super-being. get a grip anons
>>60658739
>>60658790
>>60658843
God the cringe. You guys have listened to like 12 albums, tops.
new albums too bright and happy.
>>60658274
You're right. They basically are the same. So she's doing the same boring old shit she always does. Next.
>>60658923
After experiencing Grimes, there is no need to pollute myself with lesser musics. My ears must stay pure for Grimes.
>>60659015
... just go back to your kpoop thread
>>60658996
>the same boring old shit
Possibly you are deaf or pleb or maybe even both.
>>60658982
I guess you only like her when you think she's looking sad ;-)
>>60659035
I would gladly be both.
>>60658125
my phone wall now thanks famiglia
I can listen to kill v maim all day
>>60660730
yeah same.
1. Reality (demo)
2. Flesh Without Blood
3. Pin
4. Kill v. Maim
5. Easily
>>60660886
art angels for easily and move it up to 3 and you're set
>>60658274
Visions is very ethereal, esoteric and dream pop-y, Art Angels just sounds like Taylor Swift trying to go indie. Plus I'm gonna be honest, the added guitars on Art Angels are probably the worst thing ever.
>>60660981
it does have character though
What music?
>>60660886
1. Pin
2. Butterfly
3. World Princess Pt 2
4. Kill V Maim
5. REALiTi
Her new album is really great. Pop AOTY level.

You mean that girl from the pic attached? She's 100% Grimes.
>>60662078
doesn't look like desu
>>60662088
Because of the angle. Check the other pics: http://imgbox.com/g/tT0HIopAmy

>>60662088
She clearly looks like Grimes on this pic.
>>60662117
She's pretty.
>>60662125
>pig nose
>cringe brows
>no sense of style whatsoever
its clearly grimes
>>60662078
hmm okay den
i thought she had triforce tattoo on the left hand, not on the right
>>60662113
Looks like some very old photos. 2010 or 2011, I think.
>>60662153
I think she made that cross tattoo over the initial triforce tattoo on the right hand and re-made the triforce on the left hand.
>>60662139
Why people are mean to her? She's not the most beautiful girl in the world, but also not the ugliest. She's beautiful in her own eccentric way.
>>60662217
cuz they can't into unconventional beauty
>>60662266
Possibly.

Here a YouTube comment
>I really like Grimes, but the more I watch of her, the more convinced I become that she is some sort of an illusion. She is just to perfect for the musical/cultural slot she is filling. She seems like she was genetically designed at the Advanced Club Kid Research Facility.
>Think about it: She's "white," but she has the perfect skin, height and elegant limbs of an Asian woman. Alternatively, her features (especially nose and eyes) would be completely natural looking on a woman with dark brown skin. Don't you think she'd make a GORGEOUS black woman? I do.
>She is basically the simultaneous ideal of Asian, black and white people- but she happens to have very white skin, which makes her more widely advertisable. Her face might be a little narrow and pointy to make a classically beautiful Indian woman, or other near-eastern people, but I'll bet they would still relate to her if her skin were changed into some familiar color range. Personally, I like looking at white blonds, but I'm always suspicious of them. They're constantly up to some scheme or another. And almost never does it involve making me happier.
>So you missed me, ACKRF. Nice try, but until you come up with an Indian girl who has the curves of a black girl, the complexion of an Asian girl, the voice of an Irish girl and the "F it - let's just screw things up" attitude of an American girl, I won't be buying your product.
>So basically, I'm saying that Grimes is unbelievable. Not unbelievable as in "awesome," though I like her work, but unbelievable in the sense that I have a hard time believing that she was born of woman, and not out of some test tube in Japan. Or she could just exist as a digital avatar, not flesh and blood. Since I'm watching this on a service owned by Google, I wouldn't put it past them to be testing a youth music "smart missile." Just from Canada? I've been to Canada. That's a really weak cover story
>>60663108
And here's uhhhh something https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P3oswNKCCE
Not sure where I am going with this, but, you can't appreciate the Grimes aesthetic without her videos tbq famu
Here another pretty aesthetic female artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYGKxxTXqSs imo
>Post & discuss Grimes and Her music
Let's talk about Rape culture.
>>60663108
damn...
>>60663108
Or maybe instead of some clandestine organization's sleeper chimera, she could just as easily be an alien witch priestess from the future come back to offer up some much needed guidance and she chose this mantle to optimize receptivity. Our benevolent guardian angel. The otherworldly aura she emits is surely open to opposing origin theories. Perhaps the means of her arrival in our now is just as you say, by way of the ACKRF but the joke's on them cuz this badass bitch ain't beholden to their designs.
>>60662194
sounds about right
>>60663375
True, could be.
Here, enjoy some Grimes.
>>60660981
yeah
i dont think she produces visions though...

I've never really taken an interest in Grimes, and I've only now heard the single realiti, and I liked it.
Which album should I listen to if I want something similar-ish?
>>60664807
her brothers are qt
where do i find a gril like this irl
>>60664852
Both Visions and Art Angels (depends on what exactly you like about REALiTi)
why dont you guys go back to lauren/swift threads, grimes makes actual good pop believe it or not
>>60664901
You cant, not even Grimes is real, it is just a persona.
>>60664926
you answered your own question m9
>>60664938

wow the realiti version on art angels is garbo compared to the single version?
>>60664807
that is one serious beard
>>60665580
i don't think so
i love both versions, but demo is my fav
>>60657914
The new album is dogshit. I still love Halfaxa.
>>60658316
well said
>>60663993
>>60664033
can you upload them to a mega?
>>60658137
Because you're spouting off like your opinion is worth something, so it may as well be informed?
>>60663108
she's probably an actual alien desu
what's a good album to listen to first?
>>60667002
what are your favourite artists?
>>60667045
I really don't have one but i'm heaing alot of good things about grimes and no clue where to start?
>>60667070
I would say Visions. It's the most balanced one.

dude pin, world princess pt2, butterfly, and venus fly, are really good songs wtf? just went back to re listen and shits fire.
>>60668824
pin and butterfly are my 2 favorites.
>>60657914
Visions is an 8 all else shit. Art angels is overrated af
Friendly AOTY reminder.
>>60670285
6/10 No way in hell is that AOTY material
Are waifufags the biggest plebs of 2015?
>>60670285
If that's your AOTY, I'd be interested in hearing your top 5,10, or 20.
>>60671496
Why?
>>60671401
http://www.metacritic.com/music/art-angels/grimes
A few stubborn autists on /mu/ may rage against it, but the rest of the world loves Art Angels. Deal with it, fuccboi,
>>60671401
Why so pleb rate? Even Fantano gave 7/10 to it
Seeing her live a few days before my 24th next year <3
>>60671513
You seem hesitant.
>>60670285
That album was fucking terrible.
>>60671649
Actually anyone could say this about any album they dislike.
>>60663585
oh gawdd
Does anyone else think Grimes being fat would be funny?
>>60671704
i do
>>60671675
Not >>60671649, but it certainly was worse than Visions, and that album was maybe a 6/10 on a good day. It was catchy, but I felt like if I spent a month playing around in FL Studio/Ableton or as I understand be as pleb as grimes and use GarageBand, I could make the same thing. She's a qt but her musical output is lackluster. That being said, I do enjoy Visions from time to time, but there's much better synthpop than the stuff in Grimes' catalog.
>>60672056
>I felt like if I spent a month playing around in FL Studio/Ableton or as I understand be as pleb as grimes and use GarageBand, I could make the same thing
>being this delusional
>>60672129
A month may have been an exaggeration, but it still sounded pretty amateurish.
>>60672418
>still sounded pretty amateurish
It's just your perception. 4AD wouldn't release amateurish record.
