Grimes Announces 'Miss_Anthropocene' LP

Grimes has been talking about her new album(s) for a while now, and her LP finally has a title. The Canadian pop experimentalist has revealed that the album will be called Miss_Anthropocene, and she has shared more details about the forthcoming collection.

In an Instagram post, Grimes revealed that Miss_Anthropocene is a play on the words misanthrope (someone who dislikes humanity) and Anthropocene (the current geological time period during which humans have begun having an impact on the environment).

She wrote, "It's a concept album about the anthropomorphic Goddess of climate Change: A psychedelic, space-dwelling demon/ beauty-Queen who relishes the end of the world. She's composed of Ivory and Oil."

The recent AI-themed single "We Appreciate Power" will be the opening track on the album. According to Grimes, "Each song will be a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star Demonology." She described the album as "ethereal nu metal (ish)."

Prior to the album, Grimes may release either an EP or a few singles of "synth-based stuff," in contrast to the nu-metal of the album.

There's still no work on when exactly Miss_Anthropocene will land. Read Grimes's full post below.

New Album: Grimes - Miss_Anthrop0cene 1.  mis·an·thrope noun:  a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society. 2.  Anthropocene:  The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact on the Earth's Geology and ecosystems including, but not limited to, anthropogenic climate change. ———————————— Just fount out my first interview in a few years is coming out tomorrow. I thought the writer was quite smart so hopefully it's accurate haha. But just in case (cuz I've had some p fucked press drama this year) I'm announcing album here first: ———————————-🖤🌸It's called Miss_Anthropocene. It's a concept album about the anthropomorphic Goddess of climate Change: A psychedelic, space-dwelling demon/ beauty-Queen who relishes the end of the world. She's composed of Ivory and Oil (I've done some illustrations of her if you scroll down my instagram). ———————————-🧚🏻‍♀️ I love Godly personifications of abstract/ horrific concepts (For example, Mars as the Roman God of War) — so I wanted to update the list to include our modern issues. ———————————-🧬🚬 Each song will be a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star Demonology. The first song 'we appreciate power', introduced the pro-AI-propaganda girl group who embody our potential enslavement/destruction at the hands of Artificial General intelligence. ———————————-🤖💣 It's possible I will drop an EP or a few more singles of synth-based stuff b4 the album because its mostly ethereal nu metal (ish), and I know a lot of ppl miss the synths and whatnot. ———————————- 💫🌋Climate change is something I'm only ever confronted with in a sad/ guilty way…. Reading news and what not… so my goal is to make climate change fun (lol..??)…. uhhh… (I mean, everybody loves a good villain... re: the joker, Queen Beryl).. so maybe it'll be a bit easier to look at if it can exist as a character and not just abstract doom. ———————————-☢️☣️ More musique soon! <3
