It looks like Grimes is dropping a brand new track next week.
Yesterday (20th January), she took to Twitter to share a string of 0s and 1s.

When translated into ASCII/UTF-8 by a fan, that gave a message – SHINIGAMI EYES JAN 26.

The new song will follow up on last month’s ‘Player Of Games’, as she builds up to ‘BOOK 1’, her new album.
Grimes also recently announced a reissue of her 2012 album ‘Visions’ for its 10th anniversary.
The reissue will be available via subscription service Vinyl Me, Please, will come on 180-gram magenta and green galaxy vinyl, and will ship with an exclusive art print and liner notes written and illustrated by Grimes.
Reflecting back on the album’s opening track ‘Infinite Love Without Fulfillment’, Grimes exclaims “Wow, I can hear myself learning how to make music in this song. I remember doing the vocal over the drums and then randomly trying that baseline and being like whoa! And kinda spiraling into this experiment.”
