Grimes is one of those artists that makes labeling impossible. She makes pop music from an avant-garde perspective and anytime you think you have pigeonholed her into a genre, she morphs and changes into something completely different. After releasing two album on smaller labels, Claire Boucher gained a larger audience by signing to 4AD and releasing her sleeper album of the year, Visions. Helmed by the catchy single and awesome video for “Oblivion,” Visions is Grimes at both her most catchy and her most challenging. Grimes is playing a very sold out show at U Street Music Hall Saturday and today’s Song of the Day is her excellent second single, “Genesis.” Even better than the song is her video featuring a zany cast of characters, swords and Escalades.

Grimes plays with Myths and Elite Gymnastics Saturday at U Street Music Hall (1115A U Street NW). Sold out.
