• Arcade Fire's Will Butler Reviews Grimes' 'Art Angels' Album

    Will Butler of Arcade Fire has reviewed Grimes' new Art Angels album on Talkhouse, the website where artists talk about other artists. Despite asserting early-on that "Grimes is coming, to a large extent, from the world of 2000s pop, but she creates a giant, esoteric, viable world teeming with all sorts of poisonous Jurassic life" the Canadian multi-instrumentalist and composer overcomes his general disdain for 2000s pop (and Jurassic-era life on Earth) for just long enough to compare Grimes to Eiffel 64 and discuss the cultural importance of Bob Dylan and Prince, among other pop music and literary icons.

The track listing to Boucher's forthcoming LP is set to include "a lot of diss tracks" including a song "about male producers," which, according to her recent profile for Fader, was inspired by "a guy who acts like he knows everything and then comes back crawling on his knees, which has happened to me so many times."
