Weird leftfield power-pop from Grimes - aka 22 year old Montréaler Claire Boucher. Originally released by Montreal's Arbutus Records as a free download and cassette in early 2010, this is the first time this has been available on CD and vinyl!
Grimes' hippy, druggy vocal sounds a bit like a mash up of Debbie Harry, Kate Bush and Bjork. Beautiful, melancholic, codeine-heavy hazy beats, spanning the gloomy and desperate 'Venus In Fleurs', folky oddities with post-folk guitar lines like 'Gambang' to more upbeat funky 80's post-punk influenced jams heard on 'Rusa'.
Fans of Hype Williams, Nite Jewel and Maria Minerva will love this!
