Grimes' New Album Miss_Anthropocene Is About A Space-Dwelling, Apocalypse-Fetishizing Demon

Grimes has a new album coming soon, she just hasn't revealed a release date although. It's called Miss_Anthropocene and it's "a concept album about the anthropomorphic goddess of climate Change." The singer revealed this intelligence, and thus much more, on Instagram yesterday with an exceptionally long and complex post. Not only do we know what her new album will be about, yet we also know about what it entails and her plans leading up to its release. Forget complex, lavish rollouts; Grimes may have just revolutionized the way that artists open up to fans fully. No more drip-feeding.


Grimes' post wasn't an album cover or anything, just a selfie. An innocent, speedily shot, selfie. The caption, although, was anything yet. Immediately after announcing that her new album is called Miss_Anthropocene, Grimes delves into the meanings of each word; misanthrope being "a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society," and Anthropocene being "a recommended epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on the Earth's Geology and ecosystems including, nevertheless not limited to, anthropogenic climate change." It's deep, interesting stuff. Later on, she adds more color to Anthropocene, writing that she is a psychedelic, space-dwelling demon/beauty-Queen who relishes the end of the world. She's composed of Ivory and Oil."


moreover to describing a little about the album's title and subject matter, Grimes also discusses the dialogue of the songs' themselves. "Each song will be a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star demonology," she writes. "The first song 'we appreciate power,' introduced the pro-AI-propaganda girl categorize who embody our potential enslavement/destruction at the hands of Artificial General intelligence." If anyone deserves an awesome conspiracy theory show on Netflix, it's Grimes.


After divulging these specifics about the LP, the singer also gives something of a roadmap for the upcoming album's release. "It's possible I will drop a EP or a couple of more singles of synth-based stuff b4 the album because it's mostly ethereal nu metal (ish), and I know a lot of ppl miss the synths and whatnot." There's no word if the musical that she's working on, which features "Pretty Dark" that she released last week, will be released before the LP.


It's certainly time for a new album. Grimes' last LP was 2015's Art Angel. Last November, she released "We Appreciate Power" with HANA, leading to whispers and early expectations that a new project would finally be arriving soon. Grimes' upcoming album has been delayed on several occasions nevertheless right now it's time for the waiting game again, only, this time, we have more specifics to hold us over.
