At once both blissful and nightmarish, Visions sounds like a famous lost 80's dream pop record from a dystopian alternate universe. Countless layers upon layers of Claire Boucher's (aka Grimes) pixie-like, dynamic vocals mesh perfectly with equally thick, luscious synth beats and sounds that are as dancy as they are dreamy. It really feels like a world unto itself. The 80's almost Casio sound like production gives it an experimental edge. Icy, ethereal electropop brilliance.
