When the main star of your video is known more for doing your video than her own music, you've truly accomplished something.
And yet, with this epic video, which prominently features Brooke Candy, Grimes has accomplished just that. Can you blame Grimes for the casting, though? I mean, there are several other actors in this video.... and your eye keeps going back to those long, pink braids and that complete metallic costume. It's said that Ms. Candy is one of the most charismatic characters in the L.A. party scene (which is what drew Claire Boucher (Grimes) to her) so her casting was perfect.
The song itself is a dreamy electronic marvel that, despite not completely understanding the lyrics - Grimes has a unique, pixie-like voice that makes me smile. Which is strange, because the lyrics are kind of sad, but beautiful. Musically, it's a lot of sample loops and keyboard work, which means that Grimes is doing it all herself, which is impressive.
Also, she is carrying a flaming sword at about the 4:48 mark of the video. Also impressive.
