23-year-old Claire Boucher has been generous with her Visions, giving away both “Genesis” and “Oblivion,” and now the week before the album’s release, Grimes has put the whole skewed-and-looped synth-pop platter up for streaming over at NPR. File under: more highly recommended listening to function as palette cleanser for those struggling to find hope in new music after last night’s institutionalized wank-fest. This is a record of buoyant electro, of vibrantly vocal psychedelic curveballs that would play as well in art school as pre-school, which is such a fun Venn diagram to think about. Hear it.
Visions is out 2/21 via 4AD.

ive had this album for about 2 weeks now and loved it, great stuff
I first listened to Visions last week and have not put it down.
This is a must listen for everyone. One of the year’s best already.
I find this album, much like Trust’s “TRST,” to be utterly bewitching and intoxicating. Both of these albums do much to confirm my suspicion that Canadians are making some of the best subversive electronic pop around.
