Grimes’ new album set to come out with a day’s notice

Grimes’ new album looks to have been officially confirmed for an autumn 2015 release.

The long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s ‘Visions’ was dubbed for an October release by Grimes earlier this year - however, it was initially due back in September 2014.

In a new interview with Dazed, Claire Boucher gave more insight into how she’ll release the LP. A write-up from Owen Myers says: “Boucher can’t reveal the final name of the album, planning to make this announcement the day before it hits iTunes in October.”

Elaborating on how the album will sound, Grimes said: “Lyrically, it’s more political and less abstract than before. Like, really trippy free association about nature and shit.”

She went on to say: “There’s a song that’s from the perspective of a butterfly in the Amazon as people are cutting down trees; there’s a song that’s from the perspective of angels who are polluted, so they’re crying polluted tears. I feel like it’s more about the Earth. I think I was more in society when I was making it, so it feels more grounded.”
