It&#8217;s a lazy turn of phrase that attempts to divorce Grimes&#8217; intricate tracks from their undeniably poppy 80&#8217;s roots. &#8220;Genesis&#8221; layers hook upon hook in ways that Debbie Gibson or Tiffany could scarcely imagine, much less execute. And Grimes has a vocal athleticism that Mariah Carey would be hard-pressed to match.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Tonight&#8221; by St. Etienne&#8211;George Bush was still president and the iPhone didn&#8217;t exist when this British electronica outfit released their last album. &#8220;Tonight&#8221; shows that the group is still the stylishly dressed adult on the dancefloor.

It brings together members of other locally renowned acts like Gayngs and Roma di Luna to form a band that is making some of the most slinky, sexually charged music to come out of our humble city since the days of Prince and the Revolution. I dare you to listen to to &#8220;Wandering Star&#8221; with your partner without reaching for the dimmer switch by the one-minute mark.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been much too long since I&#8217;ve offered a glimpse of my iTunes playlist: &#8220;Genesis&#8221; by Grimes&#8211;&#8220;Witch house&#8221; has become the go-to term to describe electronica featuring breathy, ethereal female vocals.
