Biography (Grimes)

Grimes is the alias of Claire Boucher, a Montreal, Canada-based, Vancouver native, artist. Grimes fuses contemporary instrumentation with classical vocal practices from around the world.

Boucher, born in Vancouver, Canada, came to Montreal in 2006. Her experience as a performer is deeply embedded in the illegal DIY loft culture of Montreal, where she was one of the prominent figures in the scene surrounding Lab Synthèse – a 4600sq ft re-appropriated textile factory. She developed in a scene where punk ethos and pop music collide, resulting in a distinct sense of community, religiosity and psychedelic revelry.

Her first release, in 2010, was the cassette Geidi Primes, followed quickly by the full-length Halfaxa through Arbutus Records. They were followed up in 2011 by a split 12" with d'Eon titled Darkbloom. In 2012, she released Visions, a full-length originally described as "post-internet" by Grimes herself.

Visions arises as Boucher’s fourth release...
