Montreal electro-pop manipulator Grimes, aka Claire Boucher, has announced that her anticipated new album Visions will be released on UK cool-indie label 4AD.
“I’m so honoured,” the Tweet reads. The album will be released on February 21, which coincides perfectly with a whack of tour dates with Born Gold, previously known as Gobble Gobble, those wonderful Edmonton weirdos. Good pairings all around, here.
