Genesis - Grimes


This has been rolling around my cranium for days now - it's one of those songs that has an insidious quality that makes you love it more with each listen. So Grimes is another deliciously dreamy electro outfit (actually a girl called Claire Boucher, someone who endearingly claims not to own a mobile phone), to file alongside the wonderful Tycho and M83. That incommunicado isolation seeps into Genesis (nowt to do with Phil Collins by the way), a song to get lost in, all built around an undulating, bass-y riff, crackly beats and ravishing vocals from la Boucher. Absorbing stuff for days when the phone doesn't ring.

Genesis by Grimes - listen on Spotify here.

From: Visions (2012)
