The latter is a staple of her live set, which recently landed at Brixton Academy. This summer sees Grimes playing Latitude, Hangout Music Festival, Glastonbury, Roskilde, Open’er and loads more festivals.

Speaking to Annie Mac, she also says two new videos are on the way. Listen to the whole thing below.
