Grimes Shares Video for Previously-Unheard Track "REALiTi"

Grimes has shared a video for “REALiTi”, a previously-unheard track which she recorded in 2013 for an early (and later scrapped) version of her Visions follow-up. “Since this is no longer gonna be on the album,” she states in the video description, “I’m releasing it as a special thank you to everyone in Singapore, KL, Manila, Jakarta, HK, Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, Seoul, Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo who came out to the shows!”. She also notes the choppiness of the mix, noting that it was “poorly recorded in the first place and never meant to be heard by anyone”. The video, directed by Grimes herself, incorporates footage of the shows as well as her travels throughout Asia. Check it out below.

Here’s the full video description giving the details of the song:

Since this is no longer gonna be on the album, I’m releasing it as a special thank you to everyone in Singapore, KL, Manila, Jakarta, HK, Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, Seoul, Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo who came out to the shows! It was an honor to play with a bunch of amazing bands and travel to places I would never otherwise be able to go[.]

This song was never finished. its a demo from ~ the lost album ~, recorded early 2013. i lost the ableton file, so its not mixed or mastered. i tried to doctor the mp3 into a listenable state, but it was poorly recorded in the first place and never meant to be heard by anyone, so its a bit of a mess haha.
