Music video: Grimes – Go feat. Blood Diamonds
A few weeks back Canadian musician Grimes aka Claire Boucher surprised the world with a new track after a long hiatus. She wrote the song for Rihanna who turned it down, so Grimes adopted it again and shines on this trap-heavy track featuring fellow Canadian Blood Diamonds. After debuting the song at the New York Governors Ball earlier this Summer the song received over 1,5 million listens on Soundcloud. And now there is a shiny new video that is “[sic] supposed to be dante’s inferno (abstractly), different layers of hell etc.,” according to Grimes on Tumblr.
Abstract might be an understatement as the four-minute clip is surrealist eye candy, full of black-lit, bullet-hole-ravaged rooms, desert exploration, swords and bewitching dance moves.
