Grimes- Visions Vinyl Record

Grimes is the inventive work of Vancouver born Claire Boucher, a project of hers that has gained notoriety since its inception back in early-2010. Moving to Montreal in 2006, she developed Grimes as a prominent figure in the scene that surrounded the Lab Synthèse (a 4600sq ft re-appropriated textile factory). 

A prolific force, Visions will be Grimes' fourth release in less than two years and she has also performed countless shows in this time. Her debut album, Geidi Primes, was initially released in 2010 on a limited cassette run of just thirty and as a free download. This was followed by Halfaxa (2010) – arguably one of the first witchhouse or lo-fi R&B releases – and by the Darkbloom EP (2011) where she began to take her first steps as a producer, bringing together the experimentation behind her early work with a cutting edge pop aesthetic. 

With each album tackling a different set of influences and styles, her latest set incorporates influences as wide as Enya, TLC and Aphex Twin, whilst also drawing from genres like New Jack Swing, IDM, New Age, K-pop, Industrial and glitch. This approach has marked out Grimes as a curator of culture, and allowed the project to remain flexible and to evolve.
