Improbably but thankfully, Grimes gets better with every release. As in significantly, staggeringly better.

There's an eerie, supernatural undercurrent to these songs, and the moody instrumental pieces that surround them.

The premise is watertight for sure: Get two of Canada’s most intriguing new artists to take on a split EP, a side apiece.

despite all of its flaws and some incoherence between both parts, the two-sided «darkbloom» features some highlights that make this an essential listen to every grimes fan. «vanessa» is an ethereal hidden gem, and d’eon’s «telepathy” is nothing short of an astonishingly produced track using interference noise.
the rest of the tracks range from good to really nice ones, making this a usually overlooked debut project.

o melhor projeto até agora? não. mas com certeza o mais memorável, curto mas mostra um lado mais desafiador da artista que mostra seu lado em outros gêneros saindo um pouco do ethereal wave.
im only rating grimes's part of the ep. vanessa is a masterpiece and totally carries this ep. i also really like crystal ball but thats it. i dont really like the rest of the tracks
