Grimes has dropped a Christmas song called "Christmas Song II (Grinch)"
Grimes - AKA Claire Boucher - and stepbrother Jay Worthy have summoned the follow-up to "Christmas Song", a bonus track on the former's previous LP Visions. It's called "Christmas Song II (Grinch)".
A video accompanies the rough-around-the-edges tune, which was made with Worthy and Boucher's brothers and sisters in order to "avoid obligatory dinner" and took about "2 hours" to make. Axes, gas masks, basketball and a 3DS crop up in the video, with the song's lyrics about "fucking mistletoe", various fruit, chess pieces and general Yuletide jolly times.
Explaining the track - and firmly pointing out it's not an official Grimes release - Boucher wrote on her Tumblr page:
happy holidayz
first off this song contains swearing so it might not be all ages
Anyway - i like to periodically release songs since my album is taking so long and i make a lot of songs that i wouldn’t put on an album but i nonetheless enjoy so thats what this is.
me and my step bro jay worthy make an annual christmas song with our siblings in order to avoid obligatory dinner. this is NOT a single from the upcoming album, not a serious piece of art in any capacity and not an official grimes release
also —made this song in prob less than 2 hours so please excuse my terrible production, + it is not mixed or mastered.
