My fascination with Grimes has only grown since I saw the Canadian songstress perform a handful of enchanting SXSW sets earlier this month. Her newest track, “Vanessa,” is filled with 4/4 breaks and a much more uplifting beat than anything we heard on last year’s Halfaxa LP. As always, her powerful voice boasts that big things do come in small packages. This time around, Claire Boucher teams with Montreal neighbor D’eon to release the split EP, Darkbloom. Although each side is individually produced and created the album remains cohesive, as if the two shared the same recording space in its making.
Darkbloom EP is out April 12th via Arbutus Records/Hippos in Tanks in digital and vinyl 12″ formats
