Darq Souls

Darq Souls is an unreleased song by Grimes. It was intended for her fifth album, Miss Anthropocene.https://youtu.be/umoqd0VbRI4?t=10m13s
== Background ==
In a 2020 interview for Pitchfork, Grimes revealed that Darq Souls was supposed to be the fourth track off Miss Anthropocene, but it was later replaced by Violence.
Furthermore, Darq Souls was "theoretically the best song on the record", but became "an engineering nightmare", meaning she wasn't able to finish it, explaining to iZotope:https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/unruly-mixes-with-grimes.html
In August 2020, the song was registered with 8 other songs;https://twitter.com/GrimezszCharts/status/1292896497546264584?lang=en-GB potentially for the second part of Miss Anthropocene.https://www.nme.com/news/music/grimes-reveals-miss_anthropocene-was-originally-a-double-album-i-really-do-need-to-release-a-second-disc-because-its-very-strong-2613234
In 2021, in a TikTok comment, Grimes revealed that Darq Souls was on a laptop that became 'f*cked', meaning the original audio file is corrupted and lost.https://twitter.com/Grimezsz/status/1463963846335508486
The song was anonymously leaked on December 26th, 2021, though Grimes had mentioned of wanting to release it in its demo state a month previous.https://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/375451-grimes-darq-souls-leaked/
