Музыка и песни Grimes (Boucher, Claire) / Grimes (Boucher, Claire) на LP

Record Label: Lo Recordings Style: Alternative

At 23, DJ and producer Claire Boucher has already released two full-length albums and the well-received Darkbloom EP in less than two years. Boucher, who records under the name Grimes, emerged from the Montreal DIY loft-space-turned-record label Arbutus. Her GarageBand-assembled assortment of vocal loops, dark beats and twisted effects sound as if they're meant to be enjoyed predominantly at night — or maybe under a single shaft of sunlight that breaks through to the dark corners of a dance floor. Visions is Grimes' first for the prominent 4AD label. Its dreamy, psychedelic dance-pop songs beg for the subwoofer to be turned all the way up. But they remain grounded in her voice, which leaps easily into a lofty falsetto; it's almost adolescent at times, like Aqua has been practicing with Mariah Carey. Boucher plays with her vocal and technical abilities, looping and piling up wails, purrs and sighs. She expresses feelings through wordless syllables, used for how they sound rather than to convey meaning. "Vowels = Space and Time," replete with these vocal runs, provides one of the album's most alluring moments. Style: Electro/Ambient
