About this album

Art Angels is the album that turned Grimes from cult innovator into a major pop auteur. Released in 2015, it sharpened her DIY electronic roots into a brighter, more immediate blend of synth-pop, dance-pop, hip hop and bubblegum hooks, while keeping the left-field edge that set her apart. Written, produced and largely crafted by Grimes herself, the record balances gleaming melodies with abrasive textures and restless ideas, giving songs like Flesh Without Blood and Kill V. Maim real crossover force. Its critical acclaim and strong year-end reputation made it one of the defining alternative pop albums of the decade.
