Grimes On The Concept of Genre and New Album ‘Miss Anthropocene’ | AUDIO ONLY

[@jaihatesu]

i've been listening to 'my name is dark' at least seven times since it came out

[@mavericktheace]

I've had a similar experience with Violence.

[@Miccielly]

I listened to it yesterday on repeat for like 2 hours and sometimes spiced it up with other songs I thought of

[@solongsuicide9]

@@Miccielly, same! I also made a playlist on Spotify called Darkworld & added all the new songs, plus some old songs & some by other artists I thought had a similar vibe lol. Glad she mentioned artists like Bjork & FKA twigs (they're on my playlist, too).

[@athenachristinemusic]

jadynn. Omg same only way more times. It’s so fucking good.

[@BrimstoneMoth]

seven times? listen on repeat says 150 times

I agree! 😍

[@robertmatheus8004]

When people think about good role models, they think about fake politeness, a "clean" vocabulary and a life that meets christian standards... Well, I think about Grimes. I mean, she's doing the thing she loves basically ON HER OWN, because she doesn't want to comprimise her vision. It inspires me to do what I want without expecting any help and work really hard. She's a fucking role model to me!

[@EmmanuelCallasayaGarin]

One of the best composers actually... Love her

[@emmastolwood2211]

Thanks Grimes your dark angel music has got me through some really hard times. J

I am so damn hyped for this she's one of my favorite music artists of all time.

[@truethat8503]

I'm so happy I've only recently found out about her now I get to enjoy all of her music with new ears I feel so lucky

[@erotes7955]

This entire album's Ideation/themes to the sound is groundbreaking and love it

[@Char10tti3]

9:47 some of my fave artists! When Grimes posted about the “Ethereal” genre, this is who I immediately thought about , without knowing who she also felt fit into it. They have always been classed as “Ethereal”, it is like the go-to word ti explain Kate Bush’s music and voice. It is totally a genre!

[@oouu7711]

6:21 lol

[@existentialhead8330]

Lol, she's a spazz i can't help but love her

[@synthoelectro]

She sounds like she did in 2012, just talks faster?

[@davidespinoza4411]

Almark i thought i was the only that notice lol slow down girl

[@charliecrome207]

Probably nerves

[@heartpng]

its sounds like they sped up the whole audio, i feel like they do that a lot for radio

[@alvareo92]

she always talks fast though

[@pnisdump3174]

Its likely from taking speed

[@existentialhead8330]

Grimes is the girl I wish i was...

[@olic1008]

we should be friends

[@phoebexxlouise]

That Bjork - Kate Bush - FKA twigs area I would probably call Experimental pop but Auteur is a great way to put it! Grimes totally fits in that genre in my mind

[@MichaelRodriguez-yw7we]

I would say "industrial pop"

[@phoebexxlouise]

@@MichaelRodriguez-yw7we maybe, I'm not sure Bjork would fit that as a lot of her recent stuff doesn't even have a beat

I knew few artists who are totally different when singing and speaking, Florence Welch, Aurora and what the hell: Grimes?!

[@siriuship]

we'll never let go of this double thin' now. release the double version!

[@Char10tti3]

I have compared Björk and Grimes’ approach to Pop Music as being two sides of the same coin, both LOVE pop and I would say even that helps create a genre around them. Pop isn’t below either of them. Björk comes at pop from a very strict classical musical education and hears everything as potential music, for example creating electronic beats to mirror the volcanic landscape of Iceland and pairing it with traditional Icelandic instrumentation, all wrapped up as a Pop or Dance song to from Jóga. Grimes comes from somewhere having no formal musical training and seems to have the same love for sounds and beats and production and is experimental with what she makes too, but also loves making catchy songs and does things like adds crowd effects and purposefully creates music she can dance to.

[@lewisfaraday469]

The way she talked about God’s reminds me of the show “American Gods” where there literally is a god for social media and technology and globalisation

[@pedrocarvalho2126]

And now spotify recognized Ethereal as a music genre

[@yamanickgoncalvez9017]

This album is going to be brilliant ! Can't wait. The songs she already released are a gift to human kind 🙄💖

[@Char10tti3]

Grimes talking about the gods is reminding me of The Wicked + The Divine comic. Probably because I know she did a cover for one of them. I went on a online mini non-superhero comic book buying journey last year and only read Lucifer :)

Grimes 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️

[@sabrinarei3052]

She was obsessed with the Assassin’s Creed movie trailer. That tracks. :D

[@intheory9772]

I think a lot of her creativity comes through dealing and working with her speech impediment. I myself have always enjoyed people who talk with a so called "lisp" or even people who "stutter." It makes that person so much more interesting. Some people would call this a disability... I think of it as a sign of strength. This is actually directly why I was drawn to her music. I also think much of that creativity is also a direct result of her creation of multiple personalities to be able to work through her, I don't really want to say shyness, so maybe misanthropic view of humanity. I don't think she dislikes humanity I just think as she says when she speaks people don't understand her. I myself feel that way oftentimes in my personal life. When your mind doesn't work on the same level as most people it is hard to find that understanding in others. Listening to this interview gave me some incite into myself and the comment I left in her "My Name is Dark" stories section. Very cool! I want to add that I don't think I'm some sort of genius. In fact my thought process would probably be considered slower than most, especially when communicating with other people directly. People often comment that I get that thousand yard stare look in my eyes, because I am processing information received and it takes me a long time to figure the proper response.

[@4Azr]

That album is really good

[@darkflip]

oh my glob so cool

[@ZadomCo]

I can't believe anthropocene sounds like that. (don't get me wrong they pronounce it correctly in English) It's a shame that the original greek pronunciation sounds more powerful Ανθρωπόκαινος (pronounced an-thro-po-ke-nos could also be read as an-thro-po-ke-ni) Cause it could have two meanings with that. Κοινή in greek means common but if spelled Κενή (and in English would be still be written as Cene) would mean empty. So the album Miss Antropocene would be layered much deeper. Miss Antropocene (meaning miss of the common human era, miss empty of humanity, misanthropic of the common human era) I am just overanalysing my head cannon at this point with my greek. So yeah.

[@TheMajestyD]

her lisp is real

[@shteen998]

That talk about the new gods is basically the plot of American Gods, by Neil Gaiman

[@ristotheartist]

Yaaaayy 🤗🤗🌙

[@ChartreusianInfusion]

Grimes needs to discover The Young Gods and Killing Joke. :)

[@mavericktheace]

It's strange to me that you say that. I got into Grimes and Killing Joke at the same time.

Why the hell is the song cut out of the video

[@pulphope]

Its a shame Pretty Dark wont be on the record... love that song

[@Alex.4aem]

pulphope I have a theory... pretty dark is a demo so maybe she changed the name???

[@soyuncometaatemocnuyos7938]

As I get it could be part of the future lighter álbum.

[@existentialhead8330]

Well, she said it could be like a double album, so maybe this will be released soley online, and slowly, like how "The smashing pumpkins" had a full record of B-sides aka ( Machina 2 )

[@pulphope]

Actually she seems to have updated the video description on Pretty Dark saying its "not official Grimes" but part of an AR/musical project; it seems that song is sung by her alter-ego of Dark... just bummed out it likely won't be on the vinyl, that happened with Realiti also

[@soyuncometaatemocnuyos7938]

It could be part of a production for another artistic proyect. I see her as a producer sply fot k pop bands like loona.

[@TCGNistro]

When she talks about the goddesses it sounds like shes describing Hyperdimension Neptunia

[@isaacb1045]

what scrapped album is she referring to ??

[@UpstateBeard]

Listening to her talk and her process....I can easily see how Elon fell for her. She's so much more than just the surface.

[@leto7789]

Grimes! you left off pretty dark? why? why does it sound like your ashamed of that song, in the interview? why the fuck would you even be ashamed of something so amazing? maybe you made it at a time when you were vulnerable, and you feel that cringy feeling when you open up too much? i could understand that. but, that song.... i love that song so much.

[@GotoMaki4Micah]

we appreciate power will also be left off the original album. it will be one the rare super expensive japanese release, if you care to buy actual cds which i still do. id understand if she has to do what the label tells her but if its all her decision, when i buy a grimes cd, i want ALL of her songs on it
