Essential Albums
- After two previous releases, St. Vincent (a.k.a. Annie Clark) finds a way to channel her avant-garde instincts in more accessible directions, displaying a firm grasp on pop songwriting forms even as she subverts them. In tandem with producer John Congleton, she plays nervous industrial beats and quivering keyboards against billowing ‘60s-ish melodies. Her cooing vocals on “Cruel” and “Surgeon” insinuate dark scenarios of betrayal and abandonment, transcending mere irony into something palpably sinister. More direct in their intentions are “Cheerleader” (an anthem of personal liberation) and “Champagne Year” (a jaundiced look at success). If Clark’s lyrics tease and dazzle, her music hits hard sonically, clattering to a galloping groove on “Hysterical Strength” and erupting into guitar-fueled cacophony on “Northern Lights.” The otherworldly grandeur of Kate Bush or Björk is recalled on tracks like “Chloe In the Afternoon.” But St. Vincent is in a class all her own as she exorcises sexual demons, grapples with psychic breakdown, and achieves an uncanny catharsis.

About St. Vincent
Guitar-slinging art-rocker St. Vincent is an enigma illuminated by very public headlines. While she earned her alternative-music bona fides through stints in The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens' band, her solo career has consisted largely of erasing, defacing, and subverting her appearance and talent. She was born Annie Clark in 1982 and raised in Dallas; her parents divorced when she was three. Her father's 2010 prison sentence for stock manipulation informs a pair of Clark’s albums: 2011's alternately gorgeous and caterwauling Strange Mercy and, following his release a decade later, the compassionate grime of Daddy's Home. Clark etched both the joys and the suicidal thoughts that stemmed from another public spectacle—her 18-month, paparazzi-fodder relationship with British supermodel Cara Delevingne—into the beats, synths, and sonic disruptions of 2017’s Jack Antonoff-produced MASSEDUCTION. But Clark's earlier releases are equally bracing, if less transparently self-reflective. She followed her 2007 debut, Marry Me, with Actor, a lushly orchestrated meditation on performance in general and film in particular. And she found an equally oddball fellow traveler in David Byrne, with whom she collaborated on 2012's Love This Giant—but who admitted, even after a year of touring with Clark, that the rocking performance artist remained a mystery to him.
