The synth-pop of Claire Boucher (A.K.A. Grimes) is spreading like an eerie sonic wave across the internet. Her music has been featured in Rolling Stone, and popular music blogs like RCRD LBL, and Gorilla Vs. Bear , and she has toured with AudioIn-AudioOut favorite Lykke Li . Only 2 years into her musical career the Canadian musical sensation, who looks and dances like an awkward 15 year old (she is actually 23), is about to complete her 4th full-length album, "Visions". So many albums in such little time is a serious feat, especially because in addition to writing and recording her own music she also frequently directs her own videos and designs her own album covers. Apparently what she has accomplished thus far is just the beginning, considering she claims to have about 1,200 songs lying in wait on her hard drive. It took me a couple of listens to get into her work, but her impossible cuteness coupled with her ephemeral wisp of a voice certainly has something to it. Download "Oblivion" for your collection, and check out the videos for "Oblivion", "Genesis", and "Vanessa" below.
