A VALENTINE FOR VANESSA

I know that today is St. Val's day but I thought I would go against tradition and the consumerisms and give you a song with a video probably more suited to Halloween than any other western holiday.

Grimes is a creepy one. A Canadian with a dark pop sound, but to call it just that is probably not giving her enough credit. Her song Vanessa sounds like it could be used as promo for a horror film but her latest single Genesis could quite easily sit with the other quirky female acts out there (Lykke Li, Oh Land, Fever Ray). Below is the video for Vanessa, which doesn't quite match the song, it looks more like a video for a heavy metal/gothic song, but that definitely adds to the appeal.

And here is Genesis! (Available for a free download which is lovely)
