Intriguing artist, also known from performing with Byrne
In the Bozar with David Byrne in the summer of 2013, many wind-instruments and the phenomenal Love This Giant project.
Last year in the overly full Bota Rotonde even, and De Morgen wrote at the time: …in her songs, she mainly works the wasteland between The Knife and Tori Amos. The combination of airy keyboards, shredded rhythms and spiralling guitar patterns is diluted by dark lyrics about self-deception and the end of the world...
Voluptuous Clark... vital impression...
Remarkable, by the way, how she initially writes rather conventional pop-songs that then develop a sharp edge after all, due to an unpredictable slant live... until you're actually forced to recall the crazy psychedelica of Captain Beefheart or the early Pink Floyd.'
Of course, aside from Love This Giant, there are her intriguing CDs 'Marry Me', 'Actor' and most recently 'Strange Mercy.' Or do you remember her from The Polyphonic Spree, Sufjan Stevens, Glenn Branca…?
Regardless, she's no saint, that St. Vincent, but she is an excellent artistic alias of the (thus voluptuous) American Annie Clark.
St. Vincent now brings along the equally intriguing Glass Animals (from Oxford, UK) as support-act. Just recently signed to the new Wolf Tone label of super-producer Paul Epworth (see too: Adele, Florence, Friendly Fires, Bloc Party...) In The Guardian we read: 'quirky pop quartet' and 'more Alt-J than Oasis'!?
