FIRST FOR BUTTERFLY

First for Grimes looks like something you would find on Shrek's hairy asshole

Grimes is a shitty hack.

Is he a musical genius?

I dare you to name a more influential and talented producer.

...

You mean (You)?

What a useless post. You contribute nothing to Sup Forums.

...

I hope she does a cool music video for Butterfly. Its one of the best from Art Angels

it really is, amazing chorus
>ohhh nooooooo

I'm twerking to these

...

>Is he a musical genius?
No she is a Sexy Knob Gobbling Goblin

fuck off

Is that an actual quote? Seems plausible she said that a some kind of joke.

Is it weird that I want to see Grimes collab with Bruce Springsteen?

Can you NEETs stay in your fucking containment thread? Thanks sincerely the rest of Sup Forums.

a little, but Death Grips collab'd with LES CLAYPOOL so anythings possible

I wish she would give up modelling and focus on making good music but that would be preventing the world from having evidence of someone being pure sex.

Such an uplifting dancible masterpiece. Truly sweeter than sugar cane.

No - it's just a meme.

lol that's putting Grimes with the epitome of American music.

I love them both but that would not work at all.

...

rofl

Why does Grimes do so many festivals and not just headline a venue?

I want to see her so bad, but I am not paying to see a bunch of artists I do not want to see.

Musicians know that the after party gangbangs are better at festivals.

Despite her reputation here on Sup Forums Grimes is barely out of her infancy insofar as being a performer with mainstream appeal (Art Angels being a major turning point on that front imo.) My guess is that once the post Art Angels festival touring rounds are over, there's going to be a gradual shift towards her doing solo shows as her mass appeal increases.

i agree 100% with you man

how can one woman be so perfect?

Although it's probably worth noting that her primary performance goal (can't find the relevant quote right now but it's out there) is to enable giant dance parties - hence the emphasis on dance beats in most of her songs. And music festivals are already primed to make that happen.

I would go one step further and say that despite her reputation on Sup Forums Grimes is the most under-appreciated artist of the decade.

Let me know when she feels she has earned the right to distribute naked selfies like every other instagram whore.

I love Grimes but I hope not

PANIC

IS GRIMES OK

Considering she posted these about 3 hours ago... probably.

She's in Jungleland, she'll be fine

kys

what interview is this one from?

"_what's a deluded whore?
-grimes from canada?
_yes!! thanqqveremutjg"

How can one person be so perfect and inspirational? She's clearly from another world.

>implying

You'll die in your sleep tonight, and there's nothing you can do about it.

BIG IN GRIME

BIG ON RADIO

BIG ONLINE

w-what did you mean by this satan :O

>-Medieval Warfare debuts on Zane Lowe today! Hype?
Yeah!

>-She's only playing at festivals for the rest of her tour. Anyone catching any of these?
No. :(

>-Who would you like to see her collab with?
Annie Clark (St. Vincent) and Royksopp

b8. Even Fantano liked Art Angels fairly well.

You're literally on every Grimes thread posting exactly this pic. You should stop hating Grimes right now. Go outside, do something productive.

Pass

Exactly. She uses her festival appearances indirectly as promotion. Next time she will tour for her next album, she would have a fanbase big enough to allow her doing a lot of her own shows.

You're right. She's not nearly as popular as she deserves. 11K Art Angels copies old in the first week is so little.

You're comparing her poppiest song with a classic Springsteen song? Pick an deeper song, such as Ambrosia:

>Hi hi bitter heart and you look at me
>And no one can ask you what you think

>Hi hi bitter heart, you look asleep
>And no one can ask you what you think
>Feeling no emotion
>Step into the ocean
>Now my mind is everywhere
>And drowning is the only thought I have

>Walk into the water
>Boiling as it's hotter
>I was looking everywhere
>And drowning is the only thought I have

>Cause every time you look away
>I think I love you more each day

Fucc

She's a virtuoso of synths and samplers. I guess she's still learning violin.

would you describe claire as "eccentric"?

?>>>>

mememan

Damn, why is she so depressed that she cant even take basic care of her body?

Stock trading w/ quad monitors baby, you guys get the best of me, even though I'm more active in the kanye threads.

Because james wouldn't go and buy her a rope and bucket as she demanded.

shes actually changed her policy on shaving her legs and armpits. now she does shave them to be contrarian to her fellow hipsters or something.

>she doesnt know james already owns a rope and bucket

Rough

Just the way she likes it.

Because he keeps her in an ivory tower and she needs the rope and bucket to lift food and other essentials up to her?

The rope was for another sex-swing deepthroat event, duh.

The bucket was to measure how many litres of semen Grimes can then regurgitate and pour on James -- it's the new ice-bucket challenge for ultra friends.

Grimes is cancelled, we're getting Mac Miller instead

Grimes is cancelled, we're getting Wilco instead

It's always great when I see people talking positively about her music: forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/grimes.516418/

(An older thread on that board.)

'medieval warfare' when?

Hopefully today.

I don't even listen to grimes why did I click the thread

>Hopefully today.

im looking forward to it.

that pic is best grimes.

faeri magic

Maybe it's a sign you should listen to her music.

Based Zane Lowe playing this instead of Grimeth

not medieval or warfare related at all.

wew

Grimeth getting cucked right now

Is rather listen to this than Grimeth

Why Lowe does this?! Play Medieval Warfare, dammit!

But Grimes is more interesting and nicer...

>You also taught yourself to play violin, which seems pretty difficult.
>You just Google shit and, like, learn it. But all my violins are incredibly Auto-Tuned, and I just recorded a bunch of notes and arranged them after the fact.
rollingstone.com/music/features/grimes-on-art-angels-follow-up-why-she-loves-tool-20160412

Factless hyperbole isn't gonna convince anyone of anything. Grimes isn't a virtuoso violinist - she doesn't need to be.

Dude lol Mac Miller's interviews are the only interviews I like more than Grimeth'th. He's entertaining as fuck.

90% sure he's stoned right now

Shit's fire yo

Beats 1 Radio is Apple shit, right?
Like I have to pay for it to listen to it, right?

FUCKING REAL NICE DOING FIRST RELEASES ON SOMETHING THAT WILL REACH THE RARE FEW

still want to hear it of course
