Grimes and Majical Cloudz share unreleased song about an obese cat

Here’s something very different, and fairly old, from Claire Boucher aka Grimes.

Before signing to 4AD and releasing breakthrough ‘Visions’, she was a staple of the Montreal scene, linked up with the likes of Devon Welsh aka Majical Cloudz, who’s now off to similarly big things like supporting Lorde on a North American tour.

A trace from their old days has just emerged - the pair have shared a song dating back to 2009, which happens to be about an obese cat. The song is “about our cat voignamir who at the time was on very bad terms with us because we were forcing him to diet and so he was like, very violent but literally like 20 or 30 pounds.”

“I don’t know why it sounds like indie rock haha, neither of us really make music like this.”
