Grimes announced last week that her new album will be entitled Art Angels, and today she released the first song and music video from that project.
"Flesh Without Blood/Life in the Vivid Dream" is a video nearly seven minutes in length divided into two acts, featuring Grimes in Elizabethan costumes and donning angel wings.
While the first song is more upbeat and electronically propelled, the second is noticably slower-paced and ballad-oriented. The video credit lists that it's "written, directed, edited, colored, + art directed" by the Montreal artist herself.
According to Grimes's record label, 4AD, Art Angels will be released digitally on Nov. 6 and will be available in physical form on Nov. 11.
Additionally, Grimes has released more details about what to expect musically from the project. The album will feature collaborations with Janelle Monae and Taiwanese rapper Aristophanes. She also plays a number of instruments on Art Angels, which 4AD describes as her "most ambitious album to date."
While the album was recorded primarily in Los Angeles, it was revealed in recent interviews that it was also recorded in Squamish, B.C.
Grimes is currently performing dates on her Rhinestone Cowgirls tour.
