Grimes is Better Than You
I'm in love with Grimes' music right now. Also kind of in love with her brain.
I ended up listening to Kill V. Maim a few weeks ago, and falling in love with it, so the only thing I could do was listen to Art Angels a million times in a row. That album is amazing.
But I was reading a bunch of interviews with Grimes (who is Canadian!) about the making of it, how she creates every inch of the music herself, how she's a producer before she's a singer or an artist, and I was really thrown with her intelligence and how surprisingly self-aware she is.
So I went and listened to Visions, too. It also is amazing.
The thing I love about her and her art is how honest she is about it; she talks about how some of her work doesn't live up to her expectations, she's true to who she is and what her work is about. I enjoy that.
She's also kind of weird, which I like. Genuinely weird people are not appreciated enough. History and language nerds and people who really appreciate the technical sides of things. That's Claire.
And the fact that she taught herself how to play so many instruments is giving me guitar inspiration.
Anyway, back to writing Rage.
