Grimes - Art Angels

Sinuous, beguiling, brilliant - astonishingly, even better than Visions (which turned out to be seriously excellent as time went on). Every song is good but there's a particularly murderously good run through the record's mid-section from tracks 6 through to 10 - "Kill v Maim", "Artangels", "Easily", "Pin", "REALiTi" - throughout which it feel like she's reached some kind of almost transcendent state of flow, spinning out one glorious piece after another; also particularly blissful is the earlier "Flesh Without Blood".
