We first came across Grimes (Claire Boucher) earlier this year when she blew people away with her SXSW performances. Since then things seem to have sped up with the release of Darkbloom, her split EP with d'Eon and subsequent videos for "Vanessa" (self directed) and "Crystal Ball". Claire's now prepping the re-release of her Geidi Primes LP through No Pain In Pop, previously released in 2010 by Arbutus Records. The re-release is to be kicked off with a new video for "Beast Infection" which you can see below.

This year we've cut down our "best of" lists and got straight to the point, we'll have two lists and an extra something(s) special up our sleeve.

I feel like we're always saying this but it's the nature of new music blogging I suppose, and yes it's a growing cliche too. Erin Fein's Psychic Twin has come on leaps and bounds since their 2011 debut (bandcamp) release "I Want To Forget", and latest track "Unlock Yr Heart" shows craft and invention in equal parts.
