Grimes – Oblivion – Indie Spotlight Free Download
 |
 |
Each week we select music from an independent artist we’re excited about and bring it to you, for free, as our Indie Free Download. Grimes is the one-woman band of Claire Boucher, an intensely self-aware 23-year-old electro-pop phenom from Montreal with big ideas about the spectacle of stardom. She envisions herself as knob-twirler and diva in one heavenly body—like SBTRKT and Katy B as one. “Oblivion” could very well make this eccentric a household name, with its layers of celestial, Cocteau Twins–like chipmunk voices and stubby synths that evoke a kind of Moog-y blues.
IMPORTANT: Downloads are only free on iTunes for approximately 1 week from this post date.
