Grimes Has a 35-Track Nightcore Album That "Needs to Come Out" – Exclaim!

It's been a work-in-progress since 2015

"After my albums [sic] out I have like a 35 track nightcore album I've been making since 2015 that I think rly [sic] needs to come out," the famous Marxist wrote on Twitter this Saturday (January 8), adding: "I don't think it makes a ton of sense but it's getting so absurdly long lol."

The album in reference is presumably her mysteriousBook 1, from which she shared first chapter "Player of Games" last month, alongside a videowhere she faces off with a stand-in for ex Elon Musk.

Now, you might be worriedly thinking to yourself, "What evenisnightcore?" It's kind of embarrassing that you don't know, but we'll break it down in brief: named after the Norwegian DJ duo credited with spearheading the sub-genre in the early 2000s, nightcore is based in the practice of pitch-shifting and speeding up trance or Eurodance tracks. (Hyperpop is considered a derivative of it.)

Basically, it's a reverse Red (Taylor's Version) vinyl situationin that it sounds like playing a record pressed at 33 1/3 RPM at 45 RPM.

Since a tracklist of 35 songs goes even beyondDondaterritory, one Twitter response suggested that the artist create a server that hosts all of her music and automatically uploads new demos to give fans "a constant drip," to which she replied:"Let's dooooo it."

It sounds like some high-pitched, high-speed music of the night could be coming down the pipeline anytime now. See the tweet from Grimes below, which includes a selfie for good measure.
