Watch | Grimes Live

Grimes has been on my radar for a while, I listened to Halfaxa a while ago and quite liked the sound. I like the washed out, layered sound with her beautifully delicate and abstract vocals. It has a melancholic depth to it I appreciate . Weird thing is I came across this half hour video of her playing live in a studio for the Vancouver radio station KEXP and it sounded new to me - love it when that happens.

Potholes In My Blog » Watch How To Dress Well Perform With New Live Band

Thanks to the excellent Potholes In My Blog site (linked above) here's a video of How To Dress Well playing a song off his forthcoming new album with a live band in Vancouver.






Incidentally, have you heard the one time only orchestral EP Tom Krell released on this day last year? It comprise orchestral versions of the three Suicide Dream tracks and Decisions off his first album. Its beautiful stuff made in memory of his best friend who died in August 2010. Its available on 10" and digitally. $1 dollar of every 10" sold will go to a mental health charity.
