I was perusing Pitchfork's year end lists and saw Grimes atop the albums, with the track Oblivion being a top also. From reading their coverage of her throughout the year, I figured she'd garner a lot of love come the end of the year, but never bothered to listen.

Well I got the album last night and only got a chance to hear Oblivion, because I listened to it three times in a row. Man, great song. It's not my #1 of the year, but damn it's good. What are some other favorite tracks?

Genesis is probably next best, but yeah, Oblivion is outstanding.

The lyrics are really dark which really stands out with the music and her voice.

She played Baton Rouge last year in February for free. Interesting.

I like the two songs mentioned in this thread. Haven't really listened to much else.

Those two songs were pretty good though.

I like the few songs I've heard.

I love her. I first saw her at Gorilla vs Bear fest at the Granada Theater in Dallas a coupe years ago and she was easily one of the best acts there that day. I had no idea who she was at the time but she killed it during her set. It was just her alone at the time.

I saw her again recently at Index Fest and she was excellent again. She has added some strange dancer girls since the first time I saw her. Kind of artsy stuff but entertaining regardless.
