Grimes – Miss Anthropocene LP Vinyl Record

Miss Anthropocene is the fifth studio album by Canadian musician Grimes (Claire Boucher), released on February 21, 2020. The album is a loose concept album about an “anthropomorphic goddess of climate change” inspired by Roman mythology and villainy. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart when released.

Much darker than her previous releases, the album contains inspiration from the sounds of industrial music, dream/synth-pop and darkwave styles. The wide range of sounds explored on Miss Anthropocene have it acting almost as a “greatest hits” of Grimes work.

This album contains tracks which are quite transcendent such as “Delete Forever” pairing dreamy vocals with banjo and violin, through to the electro dance of “Violence”, conjuring images of fluid bodies moving across the dance floor. “We Appreciate Power”, featuring American singer Hana, has an electronic rock sound and lyrics revolving around themes of trans-humanism and artificial intelligence. It was also noted that Grimes had been in a relationship with technology entrepreneur Elon Musk since 2018, leading to speculation that the song was inspired by him and his work.

Her first release in over 4 years, Miss Anthropocene is no doubt a work of ambition and Boucher’s attempt at bringing further awareness to the climate crisis is noble.
