Music Monday: St. Vincent
The miracles of Annie Clark.
I’ve wanted to write about St. Vincent for a couple of months now. I still kick myself for missing her show, but having recently seen the video for “Jesus Saves, I Spend,” I figure now is as good as time as any.
Annie Clark is the lone member of St. Vincent, not including the long list of reputable rotating musicians who have helped Clark out. Clark herself has shown her musical range and penchant for grandiose noise having performed with The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens. “Marry Me” successfully functions as both Clark’s first album and evidence of her appreciation of Arrested Development. In fact, the gives us the impression that Clark is a singer/songwriter with a detectable sense of sincerity, a little bit of quirk and a level of sophistication Regina Spektor probably dreamed of having before her Adult Top 40 career.
All that and she’s dangerously cute.
