Grimes gives update on ‘Art Angels’’ follow-up

It looks like work on Grimes’ new album is well underway, with Claire Boucher confirming she’s been playing potential tracks to her label. And even better news - they “dig it”!

Grimes previously said with the follow-up to ‘Art Angels’, she’s “trying to make something you’ve never heard before”. She also hinted previously that she’s following a new direction. “I’m really vibing on making something really slow and gorgeous that just breathes,” she said, “and has room to breathe. I feel like my work has always been fast paced, kinetic, and almost just manic and I feel like for me the hardest thing I can do is make something that’s slow and heavy. I’m so ADD in my work; I really want to push myself into something that would be slower and more reflective.”

It’s been a busy 2017 for Grimes - this year she’s also shared her plans to pen a novel, and set up a new space on Instagram dedicated to visual art.
