Grimes stars in Cinematic futuristic sc-fi music video for new single “ACCELERANDO”
Grimes - ACCELERANDO (Official Music Video)
Stream / Download ACCELERANDO Here
There is a specific kind of Grimes song that arrives like a dare. "ACCELERANDO" is one of those. The first single to get a proper visual from Psyopera, it finds her exactly where the album's trailer promised she would be: deep inside the machine, grinning.
The song moves fast and knows it. "Based, baby, accelerando" she chants over a pulse that keeps accelerating past the point of comfort. VADAKIN joins her in that space, and the result feels less like a feature and more like a transmission between two people who have already agreed the world is ending and decided to enjoy it. "Expensive taste, you get a weapon or a war." She is not choosing sides so much as pointing out that the sides have already been chosen for you.
There is tenderness buried in the provocation too. "If you need something to believe in / Sit back and let the machine in." It is invitation and warning at once. Oppenheimer Barbie. An American lobotomy offered softly.
The video arrived after Grimes sent clips directly to fan accounts. A distribution instinct that feels entirely in character for an artist who has always treated the boundary between finished work and live mythology as something to test rather than respect. Whatever Psyopera turns out to be, it will not arrive quietly.
