Grimes klar med detaljer om dommedagsalbum

En ep eller et par singler kan også være på trapperne forud for albummet.

Den canadiske sangerinde Claire Elise Boucher, der bedre er kendt under sit kunstnernavn Grimes, har netop løftet sløret for detaljerne vedrørende sit nye album Miss_Anthrop0cene. Albummet har været længe ventet siden udgivelsen af sangerindens seneste album Art Angels, der allerede ligger over tre år tilbage.

Det nye album blev annonceret via sangerindens Instagramprofil, og det synes umiddelbart som om, at albummet har ganske stærke politiske budskaber: ”Det er et konceptalbum om den antropomorfe gudinde for klimaændringer”, skriver Grimes og fortsætter: ”Hun er udgjort af elfenben og olie”.

New Album: Grimes - Miss_Anthrop0cene 1.  mis·an·thrope noun:  a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society. 2.  Anthropocene:  The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on the Earth’s Geology and ecosystems including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change. ———————————— Just fount out my first interview in a few years is coming out tomorrow. I thought the writer was quite smart so hopefully it’s accurate haha. But just in case (cuz I’ve had some p fucked press drama this year) I’m announcing album here first: ———————————-It’s called Miss_Anthropocene. It’s a concept album about the anthropomorphic Goddess of climate Change: A psychedelic, space-dwelling demon/ beauty-Queen who relishes the end of the world. She’s composed of Ivory and Oil (I’ve done some illustrations of her if you scroll down my instagram). ———————————  I love Godly personifications of abstract/ horrific concepts (For example, Mars as the Roman God of War) — so I wanted to update the list to include our modern issues. ———————————- Each song will be a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star Demonology. The first song ‘we appreciate power’, introduced the pro-AI-propaganda girl group who embody our potential enslavement/destruction at the hands of Artificial General intelligence. ———————————- It’s possible I will drop an EP or a few more singles of synth-based stuff b4 the album because its mostly ethereal nu metal (ish), and I know a lot of ppl miss the synths and whatnot. ———————————-

Climate change is something I’m only ever confronted with in a sad/ guilty way…. Reading news and what not… so my goal is to make climate change fun (lol..??)…. uhhh… (I mean, everybody loves a good villain... re: the joker, Queen Beryl).. so maybe it’ll be a bit easier to look at if it can exist as a character and not just abstract doom. ———————————-More musique soon! <3

”Hver sang vil være en legemliggørelse af den menneskelige udslettelse afbildet gennem en popstjernedæmonologi,” forvarsler hun desuden.

Foruden selve albummet afslutter Grimes Instagramopslaget med at understrege muligheden for, at en række synthbårne singler og eventuelt en ep vil ramme gaden forud for albummet.

Grimes har endnu ikke offentliggjort de nærmere detaljer omkring datoen for udgivelsen, men det virker dog til, at mange detaljer allerede er udtænkt fra popsangerindens side.
