Grimes' revelatory new album Visions is out February 21 on 4AD / Arbutus, but you can hear the record now in its entirety over at NPR. Psyched I'm not the only one that heard that (probably nonexistent) Tiffany nod in "Oblivion"...
We are very psyched to announce that we've teamed up with our friends at Spune to present an evening with GRIMES on Thursday, March 1, at Dan's Silverleaf in Denton. If you caught her set at our 2011 SXSW party or our inaugural GvsB Fest back in July -- or if you've heard any of her forthcoming album-of-the-year-contender Visions -- then we don't have to tell you that this show will be amazing, and will likely sell out...
Listening to nothing but Visions lately, so we're psyched that our dudes at Yourstru.ly -- who've had this one chilling in their vaults for a minute -- decided to unleash this amazing (as usual) footage of Grimes playing her new single "Genesis", recorded at the Sub in San Francisco back in May 2011:
4AD just unleashed the next song from our early frontrunner for album of the year, Grimes' "post-internet" revelation, Visions. The beautiful/celestial future-pop jam "Genesis" has been a favorite in Grimes' live sets for a minute, and the LP version offers a glimpse at how far she's come since she sent us her (also great) debut tape almost 2 years ago:

Visions drops on 02/21 via 4AD in the States and Arbutus in Canada...
Grimes has signed with 4AD, the home of Ariel Pink, Gang Gang, St. Vincent, et al. The esteemed label will release her next-level new LP Visions on February 21, 2012 in the States (and in Canada via Arbutus) and March 12 everywhere else...
Gorgeous, hypnotic new ethereal pop (that still manages to bump) from the amazing Grimes, taken from one of our most anticipated records of 2012, her forthcoming LP Visions:
So many records this year. We had to stop somewhere though, so check our top 50 of 2012 -- complete with an unbreakable (we tried) tie at the top -- after the jump, listen along with this massive Spotify playlist, and then, as always, we can talk about what you think we missed.
Here are our favorite records / songs / videos from a very strong first half of 2012, complete with links to listen to the albums in their entirety, in most cases. We probably don't have to ask you to leave your choices in the comments, but as always, we enjoy seeing them...
