St. Vincent

St. Vincent is the moniker of singer-multi-instrumentalist-composer, Annie Clark. She has had the pleasure of opening for such acclaimed and diverse acts as Television, Jose Gonzalez, and Sufjan Stevens. She is an inventive and versatile guitarist and has also performed with avant-garde composer, Glenn Branca. Annie Clark plays guitar in the Polyphonic Spree and in Sufjan Stevens' touring band, but it's the Dallasite's solo stuff we're speaking of here. St. Vincent writes cinematic pop epics that feel at times like Paris in the '20s before all the fun ended.

Or, conversely, an orchestra of pure modernity, a new American music, informed by jazz, gospel blues, Southern folk music, and classical composition but-in the end-an animal original unto itself.

She's been compared to everyone from Bjork to Kate Bush to Jeff Buckley, and her beautiful voice melds perfectly with her intricate guitar work. This new album features David Bowie's longtime pianist Mike Garson on three songs, and drummer Brian Teasley from Man or Astroman.
