Geidi Primes

Claire Boucher's cassette-only debut of "post-Internet" DIY bedroom recordings gets an old-fashioned CD/LP release. Following a wave of hype, the re-release is a wisely timed holdover for the months before her next album comes out, but the immersive, enchanting collection is more than a quaint indicator of how far Grimes has come in the past year and a half.

Despite the esoteric veneer of this bedroom-born debut, [a]Grimes[/a] (aka Claire Boucher) has packed ‘Geidi Primes’ with enough ideas to make for an instantly accessible and intimate listen.
