$14.98 (list price), Pop/Rock/Soul, Beggars Banquet Basic Story: St. Vincent, the moniker of 23-year-old singer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer Annie Clark, releases her eclectic debut.
Sample: “While Jesus is saving I’m spending all my days/ in backgrounds and landscapes with the languages of saints/ while people are spinning like toys on Christmas day.”
Verdict: This may be her first record but Clark is hardly a newcomer. Having played guitar for the Polyphonic Spree and in Sufjan Stevens’ touring band, she is now following the path set by My Brightest Diamond, also an offspring of Sufjan. While her voice is easy to melt into, the music attempts to cover too many styles with few sounding like her own. Fans of Feist might find something they like here but mind you it’s been done already, only better.
