St. Vincent is crazy! Always has been and (fingers crossed) always will be. Her beautiful, if jarring, voice conveys lyrics that are almost conversational—that is, if you’re conversing with an artistic woman who is fighting the conventional world, and winning. Her new self–titled album is more dance–driven than her previous four full–lengths, but it still features her signature blend of edgy guitars, techno synths and bold horns that will convince you to listen to the single, “Digital Witness,” on repeat. If anyone has an extra ticket to her sold–out show at Union Transfer tomorrow, hit me up!
