Exploding out of an electronic dream world, Grimes' fourth full-length release is an album of contrasts, a genre-bending marvel which grabs you by the ears and gives you a good shake.
With a mix of indie, electronica, country and more held together with a strong pop sensibility, Art Angels is
this year's most exciting release.
Claire Boucher recorded and engineered the album herself, learning instruments including ukulele, violin, guitar, keyboards and drums to create her vision.
But on lead single Flesh Without Blood, it's her sugar-sweet vocals that lead the charge, alternating between earthy and heavenly.
