On the newest episode of the Song Explorer podcast, Grimes is breaking down the making of her latest banger and her own fave Kill V. Maim.

Very interesting, especially the many layers of the songs. Listen here.

Right? It's so interesting, especially for extreme music lovers like us.

I FLIPPED when I heard Ariel and Carly talking about When I Needed You (which is my personal fave on Emotion)

The fact they play all the layers, each on It's own, is priceless.

I would love to see a YouTube channel or something, that's going to film some artists in the studio while recording.

Something like this:

I know next to nothing about song making, so this was an interesting listen.

Grimes is so fascinating.

I went back to see if I could hear the crowd noises and I couldn't.

First thing I did. I took the professional studio headphones of my bestie and listened to the FLAC version. Didn't hear It but It's probably still one of the many reasons why the song goes HARD on you.

But holy ****, I swear I've heard things that I didn't hear before. This song is so complex in It's production. Grimes really gave her all on this instrumental.

The first vocal take you hear, especially with the woah-oh, reminds me of Bonnie McKee. Which is interesting considering she said she pretends to be other people.

Stardust.

Very interesting.

I think the crowd noises are before de B E H A V E part, but I'm not sure.

Haus

Omg legend

the drums are my favorite part of the song but every layer is flawless, I would kill for the stems.

Glassmouth

Queen, wish I could produce like that, maybe one day

When will your fave tbh

Resourceful Queen

I love that she barely plays the guitar and doesn't even know chords, but was able to make this amazing body of work regardless. I'm literally so impressed by her all of the time; also, my first time hearing art angels I assumed all of the very high pitch girly vocals were edited, did she actually do them herself? (sans some like Auto-tune/pitch correction) If so, SLAY!

"I hate singing", Love it

I love hearing about artists who say they have no music knowledge in the classical sense but manage to make amazing music solely based on hard work,creativity and geniune talent.SO impressive.

40 layers of drums?
