Grimes is making good on her promises of new music by giving us a sneak peek of two new tracks, presumably from the album she has been teasing for the fall.
Grimes tweeted two videos on Tuesday, each previewing a song from an iTunes playlist titled “! 13 decent tracks.”
She describes the first track, labeled “Adore u,” as a “cheesy love song” that she doesn’t like but everyone else does.
“4am,” the second track she previewed, she calls an “ethereal chav jam that’s like … a cyberpunk interpretation of the bajirao mastani movie.”
Aside from the clips, Grimes also responded to a fan that another track, “so heavy i fell thru the earth,” is a “big heavy dark ballad” that fans of her 2010 album Halfaxa will dig. All of these titles are consistent with the working tracklist she posted on her Instagram story last month.
Check out the snippets for both songs below, along with Grimes’ 2013 Daytrotter Session.
