Discuss the authentic artist that continued the tradition of art pop legends such as Kate Bush, Bjork and Fever Ray: Claire Elise Boucher aka Grimes.
David Byrne: >I started collecting pictures of Grimes, Madonna, Kate Bush, Sinèad O’Connor, on and on—popular musicians are obsessed with her. This trend inspired the premise for the show: a pop star decides to give in to the Joan obsession and tell her epic story in concert. brooklynvegan.com/david-byrne-details-his-upcoming-joan-of-arc-musical-tickets-on-sale/
Grimes about her next album: >As she closes the door on this album, Boucher has a calmer project in mind for the next: “I’m really vibing on making something really slow and gorgeous that just breathes, and has room to breathe. I feel like my work has always been fast paced, kinetic, and almost just manic and I feel like for me the hardest thing I can do is make something that’s slow and heavy. I’m so ADD in my work; I really want to push myself into something that would be slower and more reflective.” vmagazine.com/article/v104-grimes-interview/

Her name is very fitting though
Josiah Brown
Whatever happened to Fever Ray
Colton Evans
That's just your dumb opinion.
Jack Green
I heard she's really bad live.
Robert Stewart
>it's not very hard to make Then why nobody else did it? Checkmate, idiot.
Ethan Ward
Going to a shower for Grimes.
Jace Ramirez
You heard it wrong. She's mostly great but sometimes she has a bad day. When she's great, she's really great. See for yourself: dailymotion.com/video/x4k3593
Julian Butler
Grimes? Whatever happend to The Knife?
Ian Torres
They took a break. Grimes is more important than The Knife anyway.
Jose Flores
What? What did you meant by that? She's still into music.
Gavin James
Why is she so easy to fall in love with?

Aaron Anderson
u forgot the #1 reason
she's attractive
and her big schnozz is not a deterrent but rather makes her ~*uneek*~
Aaron Brooks
Had the pleasure of seeing her for the first time just this past year during the Acid Reign Tour (so can't speak to what she was like before that.) She was fucking awesome. And I don't normally use that word ever.
Jonathan Peterson
be quiet
Michael Bailey
>expecting to be taken seriously By the likes of you? What are you smoking?
Levi Thomas
Her nose is proportional with her mouth.
Blake Powell
d-delete this
Grayson Rivera
>By the likes of you? by the likes of anyone with taste. Grimes has ZERO (0) redeeming qualities.
Dylan Howard
no one care about your shitty meme artist, dive into the nearest trashcan, your garbage

"Grimes", or Claire is simply a vessel for the pure gift of love and music that she carries in herself.
If French is the language of Love undisputed, then Grimes is living and undiscovered French royalty, her lineage traced back to French Dukes and Duchesses who perfected the art of courtship and romance in the highest arena before the King and Queen. Grimes is perhaps a direct and secret heir of French Queens and Antonio Vivaldi, such is her gift of music and the love expressed in her compositions.
To be in the direct presence of Grimes is to be uplifted and to know real joy. Her friends know this truth deep in their hearts, and they follow her footsteps in rhythm to the beating of their hearts.
Watch out world, Grimes is out to amaze us all. If you have ears then you can experience the exquisite joy that is her latest masterpiece, Art Angels, available now in Google Play and Itunes!
Noah Robinson
fuck this dyke
Kevin Johnson
>the synths sound really lame, super basic. the patches she uses just makes it seem like she twisted random knobs and picked random oscillators to get the sound. then after the fact goes "yeah that's what I wanted" when it prob wasn't even close. >the songs are super basic and simple as fuck >the production is amateur as fuck; yeah I get she does it all by herself and IT SHOWS >songwriting is just not great senpai >annoying voice
Isaiah Allen
WTF are you doing here and on the previous thread, then? Filter them and stop whining, crybaby.
Grayson Russell
None of those are musical terms, user. What is it about the sound of her music you don't like?
Connor Green
all bullshit, le quirky nerdy girl image is just that, how fucking beta do you have to be to fall for such obvious pandering?
Brody Torres
I don't like her new tattoo Why did she have to do that to me :(
Alexander Gutierrez
I'm listening to Fever Ray just now. This pretty great. It's like pop music but good. I wish there were more good pop musicians.
Nicholas Sanchez
her quirkiness is not contrived tho
she can't help it that she's a mpdg, damn
Charles Hall
>all bullshit Because you say so? GTFO
Henry Lewis
Art Angels
Kayden Foster
>hairy armpits
This is fucking disgusting.
Isaiah Gomez
It's her leg and life anyway. Why do you even care?
Blake Peterson
you thirsty fucking beta, jesus christ where is your self respect?
Joseph White
>said the neet with armpit hair bigger then her
Luke Murphy
No shit I'm a man
Blake Moore
>discussions I'd suggest to find appropriate place for them.
>What is your actual complaint about her music, user? Nothing. Her early stuff wasn't that bad. I'm about these endless threads that's content isn't quite Sup Forums related.
At least I can get someone buthurt.
Leo White
...
Luke Price
girls dont find that shit attractive dude.
Grayson Gutierrez
its really hard to spread her popularity without the mainstream.
Art Angels should get played on radio.
Nicholas Howard
hahaha she sold out and still didn't get airplay for it.
Blake Edwards
yes they do
Caleb Gomez
>self respect
here's one dank meme right here
Grayson Howard
not yet, i don't see why its not on the airwaves. its top tier.
Juan Davis
Wait a fucking minute: that's double standard! You're a human being (well, almost), she's a human being too, why you shouldn't shave your armpit hair and she must do that?
Ian Torres
>i don't see why its not on the airwave because IT FUCKING SUCKS, even by their standards.
Logan King
you guys are really mean to our Grimey >.
Caleb Carter
Because she's a woman.
Dominic Powell
t. someone who didn't listen to it
mainstream labels are vicious like that because Grimes is indie.
Zachary Ramirez
>she sold out Making electropop music =/= sold out. Are you one of those idiots that cried sold out when she released Visions?
Grayson Anderson
while I couldn't get through all of it, I attempted to listen to art angels but I had to turn it off about halfway in, since it was not good at all senpai.
>dude Grimes is indie what's why they are oppressing her! AnCo gets plenty of airtime and they're "indie" as well
Mason Powell
I never listened to Visions.
Anthony Martinez
they don't its fucking gross my man. viewed the same way as back and nipple hair.
Ryan Perry
uh huh well im going to give it yet another listen.
Isaac Gutierrez
1. >>the synths sound really lame, super basic. This is a subjective opinion on your part. Expecting all others to completely agree with you on it would make you insane.
3. >the production is amateur as fuck; Based on what? >"Trying to describe Grimes is like trying to describe Tom Waits or Springsteen or Neil Young—like, I don't know, just go listen to Neil Young. Claire is just Claire," says Jack Antonoff, the songwriter and performer behind the bands fun. and Bleachers, as well as an established producer who won an Album of the Year Grammy for his work with Taylor Swift on 1989. There is simply no one else in pop music like Boucher, with her ambitious, mold-breaking aesthetic and the ability to execute it all on her own. "Claire is extremely technically skilled on a production level, which gets missed a lot because it plays into some gender issues," Antonoff explains. "Usually the way records are made is with a lot of people involved—this person did that snare sound, and this other person did that beat. To have one person doing everything would be the equivalent of having one person designing the house, building it, doing all the plumbing, all the electric, decorating it, and then living in it for 100 years and creating a great vibe. What Claire does is just crazy." elle.com/culture/music/a35362/grimes-profile/
4. >songwriting is just not great See #2.
5. >annoying voice See #1.
Cooper Fisher
So what if she's a woman? Where is the law that says she must shave her armpit hair? Why you should be allowed to have hair and she doesn't? Next time when you criticize someone be sure you don't have the same flaws.
Angel Gomez
Even worse. Why did you accuse her of selling out if you didn't listen to her previous album?
Levi Ramirez
>I'm about these endless threads that's content isn't quite Sup Forums related. see
Jason Murphy
What? Is there something you want to tell me?
Christian Sullivan
so you think it's good based on nothing, then when I give my reasoning you do the equivalent of putting your hands over your ears yelling "na-na-na-na I can't hear you!"
OK Mr.Grimesfag, argument is done.
p.s.-yeah those songs are simple, basic chord progressions. basic-bitch beats >dude it doesn't have to be complex! simple songs can be good too! yes they can, just not these
Andrew Thompson
>couldn't get through all of it >claiming you listened to any of it Which songs, user?
Nolan Jackson
Because women aren't supposed to be hairy.
Hunter Ward
Because I heard Art Angels was more pop compared to her previous albums.
Caleb Morgan
Grimes and FKA Twigs collab when?
Jordan Cook
kill yourselves, fucking scumbags
Noah Cook
why can't yall just fuck off and listen to art angels (aka the best album of this decade)?
Caleb Fisher
whatever songs are on the first half of that album. I just played it through youtube where they have the full-length album in a single video
I have also tried listening to a few singles, and watched some of her music videos that get repeatedly posted here. Sorry to say but there is not a single song that I enjoy or would (voluntarily) listen to again.
Thomas Davis
Hopefully never
You heard that? Why didn't you listen for yourself?
Armpit hair =/= hairy. You're naive and delusional if you think women don't have body hair too. Grow up and don't believe in fairies.
Aaron Moore
Yes. Quit whining and start posting musically-related content in these threads. Or nothing at all. The choice is yours.
Zachary Perez
>You heard that? Why didn't you listen for yourself? Idk. I didn't feel like it. I don't like pop all that much.
Landon Lee
as you were.
Julian Stewart
Sorry but you seem like a pleb or you simply didn't try enough. It takes time to appreciate her music. It took me 6 months (not daily listens though) to really get into her music. At least listen to her album Visions 3 times.
Levi Robinson
Then listen to her earlier albums, Geidi Primes and Halfaxa.
Blake Gutierrez
>pleb I am sorry but you are not in a position to call me a pleb when >you keep your music library in an .mp3 format >you use the windows operating system >you drive a car with an AUTOMATIC transmission >you don't own a single pair of designer shoes >you DO NOT play any musical instruments >you have had NO formal training in music theory or music appreciation >I could keep going but i'll probably reach the character limit but O-M-G you like this shitty "so randum XD" artist who brags about playing video games and watching anime and other things manchildren like...so that totally makes you cultured and a patrician!
just kidding, kill yourself
Elijah Roberts
>start posting musically-related content in these threads you first
Angel Wood
>when I give my reasoning you do the equivalent of putting your hands over your ears >being incapable of responding to other people's opinions on music
>OK Mr.Grimesfag, >using the term Grimesfag unironically >expecting to be taken seriously
>yeah those songs are simple, basic chord progressions. basic-bitch beats What's the chord progression in the 2nd song I posted, user? And what does it's drum beat sound like?
John Gutierrez
That's just your opinion. No one cares if you dislike her music. Not get the fuck out of here, Daffy Duck.
Jeremiah Hall
You're not only a pleb, but an autist too. Piss off.
Jeremiah Walker
Mac Boucher, ya in here?
Adrian Gutierrez
What genres of music do you usually listen to?
Nathaniel White
Ya
Josiah Jenkins
i knew it. a girl with 4 older bros would have at least one bro in her threads.
