Right then, let’s start drilling down on some of these tweets.
Grimes was set to release a new music next week (!!!!) on the 15th, but – as she’s now revealed on Twitter – her mixer can’t do it yet (bloody hell mate – Ed), so we’re going to have to wait.
i think so, the mixer i want for my rock song cant do til the 15 or so tho so thatβs when i wanted to release so everything is back a week maybe unless i finish the elven transporting or smthn and get a good mix sooner

In the meantime, she’s been whacking clips of songs on her Twitter, including a ‘cheesy love song’ and an ‘ethereal chav jam’. Nice.
well i said iβd post some snippets of new music earlier so this prob sounds terrible thru my phone recording but itβs the cheesy love song i was talking about that i donβt like but everyone else likes, made the instrumental w my new mellotron! pic.twitter.com/KDZLIY8OcF

She’s currently working on the follow up to ‘Art Angels’, and we can expect the new record around September, ish, apparently.
yeah weβre thinking fall, not sure on singles cuz apparently july and august r bad for singles so if i miss deadline of early july then gotta wait til sept so iβm rushing and slamming the shit super hard, 16 hr days kinda thing for a min now . tired

She posted some more hints about the tracklisting, and it turns out the album includes a ‘powerful spell’. Blimey.
dark souls is my fave. itβs a powerful spell that accidentally upended my life, scary song. not sure if good or evil

Even though she’s been working hard on her own album, Grimes still found time to contribute to other artists’ projects. She featured on Janelle MonΓ‘e’s ‘Pynk’ earlier this year, and k-pop group LOONA’s latest single ‘love4eva’.
