Grimes: Geidi Primes (2010) (Pop)

On her debut, Grimes manages to properly introduce herself as the weird, fairy-like artist she has always been known as. Even if the otherworldy jargon basks too much in flippancy and many songs are underbaked, Geildi Primes is influential to the early 2010s dream pop/bedroom pop scene, through the strange and mysterious tone it sets and the instrumental versatility and simplicity.

Grimes: Miss Anthropocene (2020) (Electronic,Pop)

Miss Anthropocene is a largely stylistically inconsistent collection of songs tied together by a nocturnal, apocalyptic ethos. Though there are a handful of enjoyable songs, the album is overwhelmed by overproduction and muddy mixes. The best moments occur when the production is a little stripped back and  Grimes can more clearly sing downer pop. That being said occasionally the hyperproduction gives a worthwhile element of mayhem as shown the insomniac banger My Name is Dark.

Best Tracks: Delete Forever, My Name is Dark*, You'll miss me when I'm not around
