I spent a while making these.

Sugoii~

 

[giga]

Colour of Moonlight > Symphonia IX > Genesis.

 

[Jarnet87]

her stuff is definitely out there, and I like it.

 

[JCX]

Yuuusss.
Be A Body should have the next video
and then Circumambient
and then Symphonia IX

CIRCUMAMBIENT needs to be the next video. Hardest hitting song on the album tbh

The clip has so many giffable moments!!

I made the gifs from posts #1, 8 & 17

But these are pretty cool as well...

Coming to Slay

Judging You

Definitely video of the year so far.

 

[hateradio]

"Be a Body (侘&#23490" is too short to be a single, so I doubt it'll get a video. But you guys are truly ignoring the hit that is "Vowels = Space Time."

It's interesting that everyone likes different songs from the record.

 

[Revolver]

So the pink haired badass is Brooke Candy, a rapper friend of Grimes. Guess I need to check out her music.

Oh, that's a nice surprise. She definitely steals the show in the video. Has a lot of screen time too.

 

[waypoetic]

Looks like Lady Gaga has competition in the visual/wardrobe department.

 

[Soma]

Love the video. Genesis is my favorite track from the album next to Vowels = Space and Time

Such a fantastic album.

 

[Shurs]

This is my favorite song on the album.

I do not like the video.

 

[Fusebox]

She's like some ugly Lady Gaga grungy hipster thingy. I like her music way better than her image.

 

[Ravager61]

Love Grimes. Her music and image all work great for her.

The one in the silver outfit is not Grimes. There's nothing Gaga about Grimes.

I think her quirky image is nice, watch "Vanesa."

Claire, her dancing, and the song are pretty much the only good thing about this video.

 

[MrDenny]

I love Grimes so much. Visions is such a great album.

That pink lady in the Genesis video is so fierce. Video of the year?
HELL YES

Makes a great deal with it gif, haha.

Okay, checked out the pink hair lady's stuff and she's pretty fine.

edit: I love my enter key.

Needs the sunglasses.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Still her best song

My fave outside of Visions will take you all the way back to Geidi Primes:

"Beast Infection"

My two favorite Grimes songs. You guys are alright!
Best off Visions has got to be Vowels = Space and Time. So fucking good.
The video is... interesting. Oblivion video was better though. Gotta love youtube comments:

This vid gets me hard as FUCK.

Spoiler

That's the TOP comment!

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I have no idea what's going on in this thread, I may be too old for this shit, but that blond girl with the snake kinda looks like my cousin.

Grimes is a Canadian singer. She's post-internet, and has cred with the indie and hipster crowd.

/me adds to the confusion.

It really is.

Damn, I don't have the little blue headphones emoticon.

 

[Poimandres]

Seeing her in December in a very small venue. Good stuff.

 

[Yoshiya]

Love this. I bought tickets to her Melbourne show in December last night!

I have this on right now.

 

[Koodo]

LOVE THIS VIDEO. The woman in pink is absurdly fierce.

Symphonia IX as the next single, please.

 

[HiResDes]

Also that's redundant, the fake Gaga looks better than the real one.

 

[Trent Strong]

Yeah, the pink haired woman has got to be some sort of Gaga parody.

 

[Conciliator]

Actually I can't really get into Grimes because of her lisp. It really gets on my nerves. She's pretty good but like other 'hipster'(sorry, usually don't use the word but it's just short-hand in this case) electronic dance musics like chillwave, witchhouse, etc., there's something about the vibe which feels ironic and thus basically ruins for me. Like she's actually into retro synth-worship/90s R&B, but it's also kind of a joke.

She is weirdly hypnotic to watch though.

EDIT: 'Oblivion' is such a cool video....again, love her, love the synth work, her voice and delivery gets on my nerves.

EDIT: It's almost possible to imagine her becoming a real pop celebrity; and if that were to happen it would interesting to see what she did with it.

 

[Revolver]

I'm currently fascinated with Brooke Candy. Apparently she's friends with Azealia Banks and Kreayshawn too.

 

[depths20XX]

I have never heard this artist before but that Genesis song is good.

The video does nothing for it though unless that's just meant to be parody or something. I honestly know nothing about Grimes.

 

[Messofanego]

Had no idea she was a one-girl band. Seeing synth-pop bands must be weird with all the tinkering with machines compared to a more physical rock band's performance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ5XUw4qHZo&feature=related

That's pretty cool, and she's self-taught, doesn't have any training. Thanks for introducing me to this artist.

 

[J2d]

Love Grimes but this video was pretty poor considering I thought Oblivion was the best one since JUstice Stress, great song though!

I hadn't watched that. I should watch more of her live stuff.

How's Blau on or blauon or w/e she said. I wonder if her next album will be full on bass.
I like how she's so down to earth, and how readily she admitted to screwing up that last one. I guess she's a perfectionist. :lol

 

[Robot Pants]

After listening to her songs for the last two days non-stop, I have come to the verdict that Vanessa is my favorite so far.

 

[Aegus]

Saw her in Barcelona. Was pretty awesome.

 

[Trent Strong]

Is that Grimes? She looks a gillion times better with brown hair than the terrible dyed, blond, weird hair that doesn't match her eyebrows that she has in that video.

 

[Jake.]

Is that Grimes?

yep. pink hair grimes is best grimes.

 

[bjork]

I think I'm a convert, been listening to a lot of her the last couple days. I think the tipping point was this video at amoeba:

[hateradio]

More Grimes converts! Welcome.

 

[Gong]

So happy to see a Grimes thread on GAF! She's awesome, Visions has been the musical find of the year for me. She's playing live in Edinburgh tomorrow night, really looking forward to it.

Call me when she plays Be A Body!!!

I think she likes Britney.

I don't think I like a single Grimes video. The music is good though.

Yeah she definitely seems to like Britney.

Pitchfork: It looks just like the snake from Britney Spears' performance of "I'm a Slave 4 U" video at the 2001 Video Music Awards. Could it be the same one?

CB: It's actually a different python. I wish it was the same python. I was specifically referencing her performance in this video. That was one of Britney's best moments.

[Gong]

Just back from Grimes at the Liquid Rooms, placed was rammed, but she had the place eating out of her hand from start to finish. I don't think she was expecting the reaction she got, grinning from ear to ear as she took in the standing ovation after Genesis. One or two vids to upload, will post them once they're done.

 

[commedieu]

i like grimes.
