Song of the Week

Hey Guys,
This week I have chosen a song by an artist I have recently discovered, her name is Grimes and she is a 26 year old a musical 'goddess' from Canada. Now you will either love or hate her musical style (a lot like marmite), that has been described by The Guardian: "by sounding a little like everything you've ever heard, the whole sounds like nothing you've ever heard". 


Personally I love Grimes' music and could listen to all day, it has a very relaxing, otherworldly sense that makes it stand out from the crowd. On her bandcamp website (link below) you can download her music by donations, which I think is a great idea.

So anyway here is my Song of the Week, Oblivion by Grimes.

To see how Grimes makes her music and to learn more about her, watch this video (link below). The video is a live performance by Grimes in KEXP Studios, of the songs Symphonia IX (My Wait Is U), Genesis and Be a Body, as well as an interview.


Sorry for the long Song of the Week post, we have been a bit absent due to exams recently and consequently have lots to share! 

Love Holly x
