2007 was the peak of grimes' troubles in montreal and when she just went from a loser goth stoner to a disturbed alienated freak who just wanted to get high and be left alone unless she came up to you.

1 Grimes was always attractive
2 Her parents were pretty well off
3 if you do amphetamines every day it is very costly habit and won't be covered by minimum wage job that pretty much every non spoiled teenager and young adult do in their lives.

debunking what,? So having like ~1 year long depression and drug problem suddenly makes you some sort of martyr? Well maybe for sheltered kids who can get everything with mommy credit card (typical /mu/tants). For normal people it is just regular life.

Thy don't you go to weep at burger flippers in your local McD, they already work longer than Claire ever did and on top of that they also need to attend college/university instead of staying home.

while on tour? prolly not, except on the few days they get off

when she's not touring and not recording she's probably spending time with him, though. James strikes me as the patient kind of man, one with a pure soul. I don't think he lets it bother him that much. The only thing he probably hates is when she's meeting someone famous and can't wipe the stupid "I love you" off her face.

Like pic related, he knows it's awkward and he's not quite sure what to do so he just sits there and stares a hole in the back of her head with a half-cocked smile on his face. He did this when she met Matt Groening, Steve Buscemi, R.R.Martin, etc.

I'm sure if you could find some rare photos of her meeting musicians with James in them he'd still have pic related plastered on his face.

it's called a creative vocabulary and shattering carries a strong connotation with it and wouldn't be used lightly.

James is also tumblr as fuck. The only people with the same tier of personality who post here also post on Something Awful, and he absolutely gives not a single whiff of even knowing that SA exists. I sincerely doubt he's ever been here, he probably thinks it's the icky gutter that it really is.

true, but normies don't know that
we just don't know how huge of a normie james actually is. yeah he likes anime, but that cliche is so done to death that it's normie as fuck.

i think the answer can be boiled down very simply to two possibilities:
-James thinks this place is the icky hacker 4chan where people post infant porn (IE James is a huge fucking normie)
-James has been here (And he lurks these threads, hi James)

If he does, he probably hasn't told anybody except for maybe Bloodpop (who I wouldn't put past posting here, either. Or at the very least anonymously on Reddit) and he's never tell us.

He probably sits in bed with his phone, at night, browsing these threads and laughing to him at the desperate attempts of the same 40 people to crowbar a view into the world of grimes. A view so well protected not even he can get anything but a glimpse of. In part because most of the time she doesn't have the time for him, but mostly because she's an introspective person.

That's the vibe I get from the second option.

you'll have to play the game to see

it'll feature a new genre i invented called free-synth which is me getting really fucking high and mashing keys on a keyboard in a melody-less jam in fruity loops, adding in some drums, some reverbs and delays, fucking around a bit and when it's absolutely completely grating thats when you know you baked a special ear pizza.

Is it important for you to discuss what “Oblivion” is about?

It would be intense if it were an overwhelming part of my image. I can’t censor myself; it’s really important for me to say how I feel. I needed to put out this song. I needed to make this song. I took one of the most shattering experiences of my life and turned it into something I can build a career on and that allows me to travel the world. I play it live every night. The whole process has been positive — engaging with that subject matter and making it into something good.

What did you have envisioned for your life before this year?

I wanted to go into research. I was into astrophysics and astronomy, but I wasn’t good enough at math and calculus to maintain that, so I got into neuroscience and psychology. Then it became clear that there were too many hoops to jump through. There was a period where two of my best friends died within a six-month period, both in traumatic ways. I thought, “If I’m not enjoying my life all the time, then what’s the point? I don’t know how long I’m going to live.” I decided to only do things that I liked doing, even if it meant being really poor. When you’re desperate, you’re going to work hard at something and not give a shit about anything else.

Were you raised with religion?

I was raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school. That was hugely problematic for me from a very early age. My relationship with my parents — it’s only in the past couple of years that we’ve had any relationship at all.

Grimes: nine days without food, sleep or company gave me Visions

Three weeks barricaded inside a room without food, sleep or company. It sounds like the kind of thing you'd only put yourself through if you were quitting heroin or training to become a Zen monk. For Grimes, however, it's all part of the essential process of creating hypnotic weirdo pop.

"Once you hit day nine, you start accessing some really crazy shit," smiles Claire Boucher, the skittish 24-year-old Canadian behind the deliberately misleading Grimes moniker. "You have no stimulation, so your subconscious starts filling in the blanks. I started to feel like I was channelling spirits. I was convinced my music was a gift from God. It was like I knew exactly what to do next, as if my songs were already written."

***

It won Claire a deal with 4AD – appropriately enough, since Visions smoulders with the kind of necromantic charm that once powered label mainstays Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance. There are parallels, too, with Fever Ray and Björk in the way that Claire has assumed full control of her production, artwork and videos in order to further her eccentric vision.
>>
>>65995716
>>65998674
A former goth kid from Vancouver, Claire originally moved to Montreal to study Russian literature at McGill University, before switching to the neuroscience course. Music never seemed like a viable option until she started hanging out at La Brique's predecessor Lab Synthèse, where she was encouraged to produce her own tracks by her now-manager and engineer Sebastian Cowan. When Lab Synthèse's co-founder David Matthew Peet killed himself in 2008, she decided that she owed it to him to submit to her to true calling.

"I was like: 'Fuck, I could die. We could all die, at any time. Why the hell am I wasting my time? I'm just going to do what I want to do for the rest of my life. I don't need money.'" To the mild horror of her parents, Claire turned her back on the world of brain biology to pursue Grimes full time. "I've completely fucked my life," she admits cheerily. "I don't live anywhere, I don't see my friends. You have to sacrifice a lot of things to do this. But the pay-off is this incredible freedom."

"Visions was an extremely cathartic album to make. I went through a period a few years back when I was really addicted to drugs. Two of my best friends died, I had this really fucked-up assault experience and I was constantly in and out of terrible relationships. I never really dealt with all that, but I eventually realised that by making songs I could work through these things that had been plaguing me for years."

As a result, Claire reckons there is a "weird jubilance" to Visions. "It can totally be a party album if you want, which is hilarious to me because it's so tortured. But because it's about sloughing off that pain, there is a kind of joy in the way it takes you from utter depression to utter ecstasy."

http://www.vancouverobserver.com/blogs/music/growing-grimes

A fairly regular Vancouver kid, with interests like anime, Harry Potter and Mariah Carey, it was during her adolescence that, as Garossino puts it, “something very strange happened.”

“She changed into some kind of super-brain, exploring the internet all the time.”

Teenage Boucher’s obsessions ranged from space travel, to the twelfth-century composer Abbess Hildegard von Bingen, to Russian existentialist lit. She crushed so hard on Dostoyevsky that she even flew to St. Petersburg to attend an intensive Russian immersion.

But as with Grimes’ music, Boucher preferred autodidactism. Garossino recalls hearing Boucher teach one of Chopin’s nocturnes to herself, bar by bar. But only through the wall—at the time, Boucher had too much stage fright to even play the piano in front of her mother.

“Something that people don't understand about Claire is her searing intellect and focus,” Garossino said. “Whenever you think you've figured her out, she's already three moves ahead. Things are never what they seem.”

Her mother related how at McGill, the wunderkind wanted to take physics, but couldn’t stand introductory courses. Instead, Boucher entered higher-level classes and studied the prerequisite material at the same time. “She would nearly kill herself studying—surviving on almost no sleep for weeks at a time.”

“And that's how she makes music today. In long, solitary blasts of blistering intensity.”

>Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now making music as Grimes, who is, in this critic’s opinion, nothing less than the finest musician in Canada. I will be returning to her live shows soon, hungry for more.

when I listen to the average normal people clyps on clyp, if featured or not, I experience a whole world of quality and variety and mental expansion.

and I come to the conclusion, that the girl is popular because she is a girl and cute and one can feel compassion towards her drug induced clichees and rumors.

So as long as she doesn't recognize or love me personally, what will never happen, why should I bother someone I dont know, who is just a girl, who happens to be cute (not even imo) and whose music lacks variety?

Why mu? why? Why are you this way?

How's that possible? It's okay if her music sounds like shit to you and you hate her, but if you really think there is lack of variety then you are completely wrong. The difference between her records is the reason, why some people hate her newest stuff and like the oldest, and vice versa.

Ideas can only evolve if they are processed in the mind, if left to rot in the subconscious they are like concrete sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Because she doesn't have time to really pontificate on ideology much these days, I'd wager to say her opinions haven't changed much.

The joke's on you. Many loved that album and she gained lots of new fans. Your dislike of AA =/= the album is bad.

>>66010799
she alienated most of her fanbase with it though

No, she just alienated hipsters who would rather her make ambient goth forever until they finally got bored with her and she sunk into obscurity.

Real fans don't expect a consistent sound or genre.

They weren't real fans in the first place. They were very delusional to expect a Visions 2. She can't do another cathartic album like that, she's happier now.

I'm all for diverse discographies.

>tfw fat and drunk after Grimes show

I just stated a fact, maybe not most, but an important part of her fanbase
go to any of her old songs on youtube and you'll find comments to the likes of "please return"

Even if Grimes lost some older fans, after all she did the right moves. She needed a catchy and upbeat album to gain a bigger audience. She did in her own way, nobody else could do Art Angels.

If she would listen to what her fanbase want, she would be an obscure artist singing in half empty clubs.

>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.

Tell us your concert experience as detailed as possible. Did you enjoy it?

Well I arrived part way through Hana's set and was stood at the top of some stairs. When Grimes came on I pushed down to the middle of the crowd. Some bitch demanded I stop jumping about so much so I pushed forward a bit.

I think Claire is ill because she kept apologising for liking but I didn't see her vomit. Set list was pretty great, I even enjoyed Go which I usually hate.

Regret getting a medium tshirt because it's so tight on me. Should have gotten a large. Massive Attack tomorrow night

>>66011218
Sorry not liking I meant puking.
But yeah my medium Visions tee is way too fuck tight

>>66011218
>Some bitch demanded I stop jumping about so much
wow, that's so fucking stupid,
>>
>>66011253
I always pick a larger t-shirt size if I'm not sure. Better too large than too tight.
>>
>>66011253
Tight tees are no fun. Always go for extra large for the loose comfy feel.

Another bristolfag here. Can confirm it was a gd ass show. Not used to gigs with so many fucking normies but they were fairly polite. I can deal with normies as long as they don't fucking get all normie up in my biz, you know?

Unfortunately I went to the toilet at a fucking stupid time and couldn't squeeze back into the crowd for a while. Also I didn't realise her set would be so short, that's my only complaint really tho, she played all my favs

How loud are Grimes shows? They seem like they would be very loud.

>>66011481
Nah. This was the first gig I've been to in ages that my ears weren't ringing after. Although I generally go to heavy rock shows, but still

she makes bland, simplistic synth pop. how does that qualify her for the best artist of the decade?
>>
>>66011751
cos she's completely unqualified to do so
>>
>>66011751
>she makes bland, simplistic synth pop
You didn't listen to her albums, isn't?
>>
>>66011751
Her music is anything but bland. As for "simplistic", her music is much more layered than most synthpop artists (even Kraftwerk are simpler than Grimes).
