Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, said that her new project is likely to be more experimental and that she might release it under a different stage name.

 

Speaking to MTV Hive, Boucher said: “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].”

 

She went on to talk about her stage show, saying that she wants it to be more elaborate.

 

Boucher added: “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 was recently shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize.
