In the magazine March 2016

Featuring Grimes, Parquet Courts, M83 and AlunaGeorge.

With ‘Art Angels’ she set a new collage-pop standard - but it’s Grimes’ next steps that are even more exciting. Her latest mission statement is just the start, and she’s on the DIY cover just as her true genius begins to spill outwards, through blood-filled videos and berserk rallying cries.

Claire Boucher fronts the new issue of DIY, out Friday 4th March via UK stockists and available to read online for free (international Grimes fans - order a copy below!).

Also in the new issue of DIY, you’ll find chats with sax-hugging anthem penner M83, a fully-charged AlunaGeorge and one of the best new bands around, Yak, all discussing their new albums.

Things get blurry with eternally frustrated punks Parquet Courts, putting everything on the line with new album ‘Human Performance’.

Liverpool-born superstar-in-waiting Låpsley brings to life her debut ‘Long Way Home’, and DIY favourites Yuck check in with a refreshed perspective, all thanks to cracking new LP ‘Stranger Things’.

That’s not all, by any stretch. We get to grips with the mythology of Kanye West’s ‘The Life of Pablo’, exciting post-punks WALL give one of their first interviews, hyped producer Mura Masa tells all and The Joy Formidable give the lowdown on their return.
