WIN GRIMES ALBUMS
Visions, the new album by
Canadian electronica artiste Grimes, may well have a _ symbol in the title of its opening song,
but the fully titled ‘Infinite _ Without Fulfillment’ suggests a more cerebral force at work. Catch her at the Berkeley Suite, Glasgow on Wed 7 Mar; read the Visions review on page 84; and win one of three copies of the album at list.co.uk/offers. WIN ANDREW BIRD ALBUMS
Break it Yourself is the latest from American indie- folk-pop singer Andrew Bird. Happy to collaborate with artists both musical and otherwise (he’s improvised live with YoYo Ma, and performed as part of an installation at the Guggenheim), he’s employed the services of Annie Clark (aka St Vincent) on the album, for country-flecked duet ‘Lusitania’. Break it Yourself is reviewed on page 85; to win yourself one of three copies, visit list.co.uk/offers before Thu 29 Mar. WIN A SIMPLE MINDS CD BOXSET
