The debut full-length from Grimes, "Geidi Primes" is a primitive, hypnotic artifact from the nascent stages of a unique artistic vision. Though recorded in a single week, its raw, experimental spirit would foreshadow the expansive soundscapes to come.
- The album was largely recorded in Boucher's Montreal apartment over the course of a week in 2009.
- "Geidi Primes" draws its title from Frank Herbert's novel "Dune," specifically from the Geidi Prime planet.
- The album was initially self-released on CD by Nazgul Recording LLC before later digital reissues.

She rose to prominence in the late 2000s and early 2010s with her distinctive blend of electronic, pop, and experimental music. At the time of "Geidi Primes," Grimes was embarking on her musical journey, self-releasing early material and developing the ethereal, lo-fi sound that would define her initial releases.
