Is Grimes the successor of Bjork? Do you think they have something in common?
>>65976011
They are both women.
They are both over hyped on an amine forum
Those really the only thing they have in common.
Yes, both are overhyped and make bleepy pop for muh experimental indie kids

This magazine should find a musician named "One" and put him on a cover.
>>65976011
they both have a whiny voice, very ugly faces, and dumb fashion tastes, which allows people to feel special by forcing themselves to like them.
that's the gimmick that made them both famous

She wishes. She really wishes.
But unlike Bjork, since she is so constantly insisting on doing everything herself, she ends up stuck repeating herself in terms of production and instrumentation. Because she can only see the whacky costumes Bjork had concludes that this is what made her not only famous,but respected by her peers. It only did oe of these two.
>>65977047
>she ends up stuck repeating herself in terms of production and instrumentation.
All her albums are different to each other. Especially Art Angels is very different than Visions. Your point is invalid.
>>65977241
All of them stick to the same type of vauge electronic production, the same type or layering, in technical terms they are nearly identical.
Your point makes no sense.
>>65976011
Holy shit memes aside, you can not fucking compares Grimes to Björk. Musically and appearance-wise
Grimes makes shitty dream/synthpop, looks like a goblin and Björk actually had so many impressive musical and artistic ideas executed in a great way, looks like a goddess.
>>65977256
Your point makes no sense.
How the fuck are they similar? Did you actually listen to them? How is Kill V. Maim similar to Oblivion? How it's Scream similar to Be a Body? How it's the guitar heavy Flesh Without Blood similar to Skin?
I think you're just trolling.
>>65976036
bjork is far more talented because she wasn't from the 'scene'. everything about her was natural while grimes is just another narcissist indie gurl.

bjork is enthusiatic with generating ideas, making it all come true, etc etc while grimes is just another hipster girl that tries to be unique and provoking.
>>65977308
What that even means? Do you call these vague sentences arguments? lmfao
And if you imply that the production is similar, you're stupidly wrong. Not only that she improved her production skills, but also she used a different DAW (Ableton instean of GarageBand) which allowed her bigger control over her music and bigger possibilities.
>>65976011
no, grimes is better
>>65977302
But this Grimes song sounds exactly the same
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGe6-xzbISw
>>65977357
Yet all she does is thesame type of overly simple layering. It's surprizing enough she managed to use some samples instead of simple loops in Art Angels, but judging by how primitive her use of it is, it looks like that's still astrophysics to her.

You don't know Grimes. Read her story. You'll see that she's genuine, even more genuine than the artificial Bjork. Bjork is so detached and soulless.
Compare this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KxtgS2lU94

Listen to her instrumentals and then we're talking about how layered are her songs. You can find them on /r/Grimes.
Just one example: http://picosong.com/N7QW
Autechre would be proud of it.

That song is weak. Far from Bjork's best. Sorry, but Grimes is way more innovative and interesting. Bjork lost the plot years ago. When was her last memorable song?

i think i read the same words in 2012
why can't we accept the greatness of both artists and move on? every argument comes down to personal preference here
>>65977668
We'll see about that once she runs out of costumes.
Same goes for Bjork.
>>65977668
Yes. Many predicted she will fail. That didn't happen and will not happen.
>Do you wonder about the person who’s coming out the other side of the Grimes experience? How did 2012 change you?
>There’s a psychology to success. I was reading all these biographies and watching documentaries about people who are successful. It seemed like the only thread amongst everybody is that unflinching, “Yes, I can do this and I am the best.” It’s a personal rhetoric that you can develop. Like, if you go and tell journalists, “I’m the future of music,” then people start printing that. So I’m just going to tell everyone I’m making the future of music. I’M GOING TO FORCE THE SITUATION TO HAPPEN.

>>65977689
Sure, but right now Grimes is only getting bigger and bigger as an artist (bigger festivals, headlining slots, incredibly tight touring schedule - she has like 3 shows in 2 countries during one day in July) and getting higher and higher oportunities (first ever musician to headline a comic convention, interactive installation project with Microsoft, OST for Suicide Squad and etc..)
>>65977823
ugh you must be deaf or something. i hate grimes so much, what a tryhard. she tried really hard in all of that songs. not natural. without tumblr, i'm not sure she'd sound like that. listen to Joga (Bjork), listen to the melodies, the strings, like, the real melodies, not 'experimental/aesthetic' shit.
>>65977833
>being the subject of art and design studies everywhere
>implying grimes is not
>>65977940
there is no way you could listen to 5 songs in 9 minutes and write this reply, so your opinion is invalid
>>65977940
I'm listening to the melodies and frankly Grimes is superior. There are lots of inventive hooks, lots of unexpected quirks. Joga is interesting but can't compare with Oblivion. Bjork has a stronger voice, but Grimes overwhelm her with her incredible melodies.
Bjork is just too abstarct, musically stiff (those harsh beats) and cold for my taste. Grimes is more relatable.
>>65978047
i got bored out because anything in it was like something i've heard million times before. i've left the artsy 'indie' music long ago, famm, highschool is over for me.
guys lets just post rare borks instead
>People comparing Grimes and Björk
Stop that. They are not of same age range. It's obvious that Grimes could be influenced by Björk, but it can't be vice versa, so it's unfair to compare already certified, accomplished artist to a trending artist. Yes, they are both quirky, indie, pop and radiate feminine energy, but you should compare Björk to some other already accomplished artist like Lady Gaga.
If you wanna hear my opinion, best artist and closest you can compare Grimes to is Metric, also a female vocalist act from Canada. Just listen and tell me it doesn't sound similar to something from visions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRtd8ArvH_s
Then there is also this artist from my homeland, Estonia, that sounds awfully similar to Grimes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56JLk52-ZBw
Thanks for your time. Grimes fanboy out.
>>65978058
>Joga is interesting but can't compare with Oblivion
omg you did not just say that. oblivion is, uh, so amateur and not interesting, the melodies are not stimulating, not moving. well maybe you like car seat headrest and teen suicide too.
>>65978083
check out her band The Sugarcubes, it was her band before she went solo. good post punk shit
>>65978119
Grimes is literally Lorde and Sia tier. like, similar idea generating process.
>>65976011
no because bjork continued to make great music for a decade. grimes has maybe 2 good songs
>>65978082
>>65978124
Do you feel like you are real patrician with the most superior music taste when listening to any song by Bjork?
Bjork is art, Grimes is artsy
>>65978124
at least oblivion is catchy and grimes put her sould into it (read the story behind the song)
joga is just pretencious and bland
>>65978179
no. i was just simply astonished when first hearing bjork. like, this melodies aren't some cheap youth pop culture melodies. she didn't hang out with her cool friends and browse tumblr. have you ever feel like you're just impressed ? like someone scratch your back in juust the right spot.
>>65978168
>grimes has maybe 2 good songs
>maybe
Maybe you should actually check out her discography first and only then post your opinion?
>>65978197
So? Is artsy a bad thing? As a drawfag, I use the word "artsy" in a positive sense all the time. If you don't, then calling something an art has to be an insult too.
>>65978197
This
>>65978240
ok, you're a scene kid, that's all. look, pretentious is when the melodies are kind of predictable but somehow the abrasive/experimental sounds and occasionally unique and provoking hooks try to compensate for it.
>>65978263
>have you ever feel like you're just impressed ? like someone scratch your back in juust the right spot.
Yes, I had this feeling when I was listening to Visions by Grimes for the first time.
>>65978282
then maybe you should english more. artsy is an insult, friendo.

Not in art school environments. Maybe on r/atheism or other "forums of intellectuals" it is.

yes, just like "nigger" is not an insule among black, neither is "nazi" among extreme right wing groups.
get your head out of your own ass every now and then
>>65978367
i can't believe a grimes fan just called someone 'edgy'.
>>65976011
Its easier to do tgings the second time. When Bjork made bleepy bloop pop it was somewhat original and unique, now it has been done a thousend times over and has become as generic as any other indie!
>>65977767
That is superficial talent though. She's just showcased having money.
She doesn't really deviate that far conventionally, just makes creative tweaks.
Why do you think her "bizarre" work is so digestible to so many people?
>>65978445
>>65978420
Why so triggered, guise?
What, got lost on your way from /r9k/ and decided to hate on another female who has done nothing to you??
>>65976011
Bjork has literally only 3 good songs: All Is Full Of Love, Hyperballad and Triumph Of A Heart. The rest is just meh.
Grimes good songs: 70% of her discography.
>>65978492

Except that Grimes is digestable and better. Both!
I like how baffled are the Bjork fanboys when their queen is compared to Grimes. Like how it's that even possible? Breaking news: it's possible. It's real. Deal with it.
