    Nothing will ever top the Oblivion video for me

      I guess I’ve been living under a rock, because I only just recently discovered Oblivion. I’ve been listening to it non-stop. The first time I heard it, I just thought it was catchy, but then the second time I heard it, I really paid attention to the lyrics and realized how fucked up they are. A++, will listen again.

      I love the sheer weird-artsy-girl joy she takes in hanging out in this weirdly homoerotic bro space SO MUCH

      it’s an interesting video. the audio track is a bit different than the album version. it’s catchy, but i like the album version better. i agree with the observation that she looks a bit uncomfortable. compare that with the video for Kill v Maim and you can see the difference.

        I’m with you. I like the album version version. I think the intro arpeggios being guitars is much better than this far more light synth.

        i was surprised to read what she said about the song not eliciting any visuals. i feel like i get all kinds of imagery when i listen to it. the whole album, really.

      California is my second favorite track (edged out by Realiti), so the change is a little jarring to me, and not quite as exciting as the original.

        The original version of “California” wasn’t my favourite.....but it’s funny to me that this is described as “slightly different”. Aside from the vocal track literally all of the instrumentation is different, except maaaaybe a little bit of the old drums/handclaps on the last chorus. I actually think I like this version better but definitely, definitely jarring at first.

        Besides any comments about the track itself, I kind of love Grimes for her relentless perfectionism....just entirely changing a track she doesn’t like anymore, or that doesn’t fit with her evolving vision.

          Pretty much everything this person does is pretty cool, but did she get bitten by a vampire at age 14? Muchos smarts and talent in such a youthful visage.

          Grimes isn’t my usual style of music but DEAR GODS IN R’LYEH have I been listening to this album almost nonstop. It’s beautiful. It’s ballsy. It’s brilliant. I am just flabbergasted by her talent.
