Grimes adds an eerie edge to Bring Me the Horizons Nihilist Blues, a single from the bands upcoming sixth LP, Amo.
The art-pop singer appears in the second verse and chorus of the electro-track, balancing out Oliver Sykes silky falsetto with an a alluring creepiness. Light as a feather, stiff as a board/Sink to the floor; I sink to the floor, she whispers over the rumbling synths, referencing the famous levitation game.
Later on, Grimes adds in a breathy coo, You were in my dream last night, but your face was someone elses/A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder/Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience/You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter.
Nihilist Blues marks Grimes first guest spot of the year, following 2018 features on Janelle Monaes Pynk, Loona yyxys love4eva, Jimmy Urines The Medicine Does Not Control Me and Poppys Play Destroy. In November, she issued We Appreciate Power, her first official single since her 2015 LP, Art Angels.
Amo, out January 25th, follows Bring Me the Horizons 2015 album, Thats the Spirit.
