Grimes Working On ‘More Percussive Noise Music’

I’m thinking about making one that is a bit more experimental that I don’t put out as Grimes.”“

Grimes has already quickly become known as one of the most experimental artists of our current generation, and it seems as though she can’t sit still.

Yep, that’s right. She’s already hard at work coming up with what’s next for her art.

Speaking to MTV Hive (via Pitchfork), Claire Boucher revealed that she’s already started to play around with new sounds.

‘I’ve been working on more percussive noise music and also a lot of straight vocal music. I want to make dark percussive shit and… release an album that’s halfway between ethereal reggaeton and industrial dance music but is still very pop in its song (structures).’

‘I’m thinking about making one that is a bit more experimental that I don’t put out as Grimes, because I want to stick with this pop aesthetic as Grimes.’


However, treading back to the present, Boucher also has a strong idea of the aesthetic plans she’d like to experiment with when it comes to Grimes’ future stage shows: ‘I want to start bringing dancers along and have them wear crazy shit. I want them to be topless, covered in glitter, wear S&M headmasks that are really big, black pants and black lipstick, and be all guys. Everyone will have bleached white hair.

Grimes’ third album ‘Visions’ was released earlier this year through 4AD.
