Musical Style: Grimes

B Grimes is the alias of Claire Boucher. She calls herself a Montreal-based musician but was born in Vancouver. Her music blends contemporary instrumentation with classical vocal practices from around the world. 

She recently released a split 12” with D’eon titled Darkbloom. In 2010 she released a cassette titled Geidi Primes and the full-length Halfaxa through Arbutus. In 2012, she will release Visions, a full-length which is being described as “post-internet” by Grimes herself. 

On Darkbloom (2011), Grimes begins taking her first steps as a producer, bringing together the experimentation behind her early work and a cutting edge pop aesthetic.

We have been loving both her music and style, which can be categorized as grunge-inspired and edgy.
