The waiting is over — Grimes has an official release date and a double music video featuring two new tracks has hit the Internet.
Grimes Shares Cover Art From ‘Bro-Art’-Inspired New Album
The artist née Claire Boucher guested on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show Monday (Oct. 26) to premiere “Flesh Without Blood,” also the lead track in a bonkers new two-part music video. Upon release, it flew to No. 1 on the Billboard + Twitter Trending 140. In Grimes’ new video, the oddball banger is followed by the more mellow “Life in the Vivid Dream,” offering a stark contrast between the two but without any bit of conflict.
