Grimes shares ‘Flesh Without Blood / Life in the Vivid Dream’

Grimes has finally shared the lead single from her long-awaited new album, ‘Art Angels’.

‘Flesh Without Blood’ / ‘Life in the Vivid Dream’ is a dizzying one-two, landing alongside a self-directed and self-edited video from Claire Boucher. The clip finds her in various surrealist, ultra-cinematic situations, from seedy diners to tennis courts, caves with video consoles and royal-looking bedrooms. There’s enough gore to see you through to Halloween, too.

Exciting news - ‘Art Angels’ is due out 6th November via 4AD, with Janelle Monáe and Aristophanes set to appear as special guests.
