To say that Claire Boucher, aka Grimes, makes music that is otherworldly is a massive understatement. Her art house looks and siren-esque vocal style combine to make you feel like Grimes really did drop to earth straight from the heavens.

Hailing from Montreal Canada, Grimes should really need no introduction having recently released the sublime sounding single ‘Genesis’ from her 4th studio album ‘Visions’. Grimes has an hypnotic ethereal sound and as a performer she weaves visual arts, performance and culture into her delivery – making her one of the more unique and exciting artists out there at the moment.

Grimes EP collaboration ‘Darkbloom’ with Canadian lo-fi RnB vocalist D’eon proved to be fruitful musical partnership. This EP saw this track ‘Crystal Ball’ alongside D’eon’s 90s inspired ‘Transparency‘. Both are synth heavy tracks which compliment each other perfectly.
