An outlandish video for her track ‘Genesis’ was recently unveiled. Scroll down to watch it.

The Californian desert-set video is said to be inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things as well as by fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier and Jamie Hewlett’s Tank Girl creation. A still from the video is pictured to the right.

Grimes – who has made the Polaris Music Prize shortlist with her acclaimed 2012 album ‘Visions’ – spoke to NME recently about the jailing of three members of Russian punk collective Pussy Riot.

She said that the whole situation made her feel “depressed”, adding: “I went to school in Russia for a while, so I’m very familiar with it. It’s funny to me because I think a lot of people are just realising now how fucked up Russia is, and like, I’m not surprised at all that that situation is happening. I think it’s something that happens more than people know.”
