St Vincent - St Vincent

Review by Robert Leedham

Anyone with a downtuned guitar and a superiority complex can shroud themselves in mystique. St. Vincent marks herself out as special because she sees the world from a different perspective.»

St. Vincent - aka Annie Clark releases her self-titled fourth album through Loma Vista / Caroline International. The record's 11 tracks showcase Clark at her most assured and gripping, as she meshes distorted, aggressive electric guitars and ethereal vocal and synthesizer arrangements on top of an infectious rhythm section and relentless percussion. 'Bring Me Your Loves' is a frenzied freakout, but even less frantic tracks like 'Severed Crossed Fingers' still deliver her trademark blend of the beautiful and surreal. 'Regret' catches her at a moment of immense vulnerability, while 'I Prefer Your Love' may be the purest expression of affection she's ever written.
