Grimes has revealed that she won’t be giving fans much more than a day’s notice for the release of her surprise new album.
Speaking to Dazed & Confused, Claire Boucher couldn’t reveal the name of the album, explaining that the announcement would be made the day before it arrives on iTunes in October.
She also provided some more detail about the content and approach for the album.
“Lyrically, it’s more political and less abstract than before," she said. "Like, really trippy free association about nature and shit.”
Grimes continued: “There’s a song that’s from the perspective of a butterfly in the Amazon as people are cutting down trees; there’s a song that’s from the perspective of angels who are polluted, so they’re crying polluted tears. I feel like it’s more about the Earth. I think I was more in society when I was making it, so it feels more grounded.”
Hopefully Grimes will be dropping some new music in the not too distant future. Keep your ears and eyes peeled.
Gigwise had the chance to speak with Grimes in July about sexism, touring stress and her imminent new album.
The innovative artist also spoke out in support for Tidal back in April, explaining that the pricey music streaming app "pays 75% royalty rate to ALL artists, writers and producers – not just the founding members on stage.”
